  2. Enhancing excellence in L&T Key principles for HEFCE: • assurance methods that are robust, light in touch, meet public information needs, and that recognise the primary responsibility of HEIs for quality - and diversity of the sector • approaches to enhancement that recognise a plurality of approaches, support innovation, and reward and recognise excellence

QA and QE for HEFCE: Separate but related mechanisms • Assurance through the QA Framework (QAF): • Institutional/Collaborative provision audit • Public information (TQI/NSS) • Enhancement through the Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund (TQEF): • Sector-wide (HE Academy) • Institutional (ILTS, CETLS) • Individual (National Teaching Fellowship Scheme)
