Our business plan

What we will do in 2026-27

• We will continue our engagement programme with students and providers through events such as webinars, sector engagement sessions and provider visits.
• We continue to develop new ways to receive advice and challenge on the OfS’s work, for example the Provider Panel and the Public Affairs Committee.
• We will continue to develop key stakeholders’ understanding of our work by publishing Insight briefs on topical regulatory issues and running our 2026 stakeholder survey to gather feedback from across the sector.
• We will continue to improve how we communicate with students to ensure they are driving everything we do by improving our student-facing communications and growing our connections with student representatives.
