The aim of this regulatory advice is to support a provider in creating a clear and effective access and participation plan. This advice sets out further information about the ways in which a provider can meet the requirements and expectations set out in Regulatory notice 1.
The guidance applies in respect of applications for the approval of access and participation plans (and related matters) for the academic year starting 2025-26 until it is revoked, varied or replaced.
Most other providers will submit new plans in 2024, which would take effect from the 2025-26 academic year.
