About the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)

TEF advisory group

We established an advisory group to provide expert advice on the design and implementation of the new TEF scheme. Decisions on the overall framework were taken by the OfS.

Appointments were made to the group following a nomination process with stakeholder bodies. Some members were co-opted to the group. The group has representation from across the UK, and includes:

students
academics
employers
members of professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRB)
an equalities expert.

The group was formed to operate for a fixed term. It started after the publication of the independent review of the TEF and it will end with the publication of the first set of outcomes from the new exercise.
