Oxford Science Studies and Nord Anglia are committed to ensuring that our students have a safe, secure, and high-quality learning environment. We aim to assess and mitigate risk as far as possible via the following measures:
- Contingency planning and staff training as needed to ensure that the courses always run smoothly even under testing circumstances such as the pandemic.
- Legal and operational compliance is dealt with in collaboration with the Nord Anglia’s legal team and external agencies as necessary.
- As we change venue from course to course, we endeavour to follow (as far as is appropriate) the venues’ health and safety policies, in conjunctions to regulations and Nord’s H&S approach. All venues are risk assessed. We will be adding H&S training into our training for selected full-time staff.
- We are fortunate to be a cash-rich business and have the backing of Nord Anglia – financial risk assessment available on request.
- Regarding GDPR, visa policies, etc. we take advice from Nord Anglia’s central team.
- We have various quality assurance systems in place, such as student feedback, tutorial observations, etc.
The above are reviewed regularly. Furthermore, post-course reviews may entail changes to current practices.
