Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report published by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education in June on Grafton College of Management Sciences.

The department considered the published report from the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for Higher Education on Grafton College of Management Sciences Limited, alongside other investigation reports and outcomes, to assess compliance with the department’s ‘Specific Course Designation Guidance: Policy and Guidance for Alternative Providers of Higher Education’ (published in July 2017). The department took action in line with this published guidance to protect public funds. Grafton College of Management Sciences is no longer designated for student support purposes.
