Opportunities have been taken to revised some structures and job functions with a view to service improvement, including the creation of an integrated Recruitment and Admissions division covering, admissions, home/EU, international and widening participation recruitment work. Each of these sections is led by a subject specialist. The overall aim is to improve connectively across the range of the department’s recruitment activity aligned with a programme of work to professionalise admissions processes, including postgraduate admissions, and to response to changes in the national agenda. This will complement and support the university’s plan to provide a more focused approach to the recruitment and admissions agenda led by a new Recruitment and Admissions Committee under the chairmanship of the Pro Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs. The Department also led the university’s successful QAA Institutional Audit visit which took place during May 2008 and will oversee a programme of work in 2008-09 to ensure that matters raised by the auditors are considered and reported on as required. 12.2 Differential Fees and Bursaries 12.3Student Administration Improvement Programme 12.4 Freedom of Information/Data Protection 13 Staffing 13.1 Post and Staff Summary 2007/08 13.2.1 Changes to grading structures 13.2.2 Gender Equality 13.2.3 Race Equality 13.2.5 Age Diversity 13.3 Recruitment and Selection of Staff 13.4 Formal Procedures 13.5 Leavers 13.6 Staff Development 13.7 New initiatives in 2007-8 13.7.1 Preferred temporary staff agency 13.7.2 Cycle Scheme 13.7.3 Revised Sickness reporting arrangements 13.8 Staffing Strategy 13.8.1 Equality and diversity policy action plans 13.8.2 Develop/revise new staffing/personnel policies 13.8.3 Post Framework Agreement and embedding and actions 13.8.4 Recruitment and Personnel Department operations 13.8.5 Staff feedback/surveys 13.8.6 Staff development policy 13.8.7 Staff Development Review Scheme 13.8.8 Academic Leadership Programme 13.8.9 Senior Leadership Programme 13.8.10 Management Development Programme 13.8.11 Career development and progression 13.8.12 Equality and Diversity awareness training 13.8.13 Link to Corporate and strategic plans 14 Centre for Learning and Teaching 14.1 Introduction 14.2 The university’s Learning and Teaching Strategy 14.3 Credit-bearing courses 14.4 Outreach work with faculties, schools and course teams 14.5 Learning Technologies 14.6 Research The Teaching One to One book by Gina Wisker, Maria Antoniou, Pauline Ridley, Charlotte Morris, with Kate Exley from Nottingham has now been published and well received on the Routledge website. 14.7 Major events and activities co-ordinated by CLT 14.8 External links and developments 15 Information Services 15.1 Corporate Plan Aim 1: The Curriculum 15.2 Corporate Plan Aim 2: Research 15.3 Corporate Plan Aim 3: Economic and Social Engagement 15.5 Corporate Plan Aim 5: Physical Environment The Computing Utility project was initiated in February 2005 with the aims of: 15.6 Corporate Plan Aim 6: Governance, Management and Relationships 16 Marketing and Communications 16.1 5 year plan 16.2 Distinguishing features 16.3 Priorities 16.3.1 Marketing and Communications operating at a strategic level 16.3.2 Professionalism and excellence 16.3.3 Operational effectiveness 16.3.4 Internal communication and organisational culture 16.3.5 Excellent relationships with stakeholders 16.4 Progress against aims 17 Residential and Catering Services 17.1 Residential Services 17.1.1 Varley Halls Redevelopment Project 18 Estate and Facilities Management 18.1 Introduction 18.3 On the Falmer Campus 18.4 At Grand Parade 18.5 At the Moulsecoomb site 18.6 Office accommodation 18.7 Major maintenance 18.8 Minor Capital and Departmental Works 18.9 Energy, Water and the Environment In April 2008 Tony Hammond was appointed to the role of the University’s Energy Manager following the departure of David Anderson who had held the post since 1997. 18.10 Space Management 18.11 Integrated Estates Data Management System (IDMS) 18.12 Facilities Management 18.13 Student Feedback 19 Health and Safety 19.1 Key developments 19.2 Fire risks, procedures and incidents 19.3 Accidents 19.4 Training 19.5 Health and Safety Executive Inspection 19.6 Occupational Health 19.7 Inspection Programme Summary 20 Student Services 20.1 Introduction 20.2 New developments 20.2.1 Curriculum 20.2.2 Research 20.2.3 Economic and Social Engagement 20.2.4 Student and Staff Experience 20.2.5 Physical Environment 20.2.6 Governance, Management and Relationships 20.3 Career planning and development 20.4 Chaplaincy 20.5 Disability 20.6 Health and Wellbeing 20.7 Nurseries 20.8 Counselling 20.9 Welfare 20.10 Forward Planning 21 Sport and Recreation Service (SRS) 21.1 Introduction 21.2 Sports Development Unit 21.3 Learning and Teaching 21.4 Local, Regional and National Developments 21.5 Sports Facilities 21.6 Student Support 22 University of Brighton Students’ Union (UBSU) 22.1 University of Brighton Students’ Union (UBSU) 22.2 UBSU on Campus 22.3 UBSU Publications 22.4 Student Welcome Bags 22.5 Freshers Fairs 22.6 Training & Development 22.7 UBSU Advice Centre 22.8 Academic Advice 22.9 Institutional Audit – Students’ Written Submission 22.10 Course Representation 22.11 UBSU Elections 22.12 Student Activities 22.13 Sports Clubs 22.14 Additional Fee Income Directory: reg reg -> Board of Historic Resources Quarterly Meeting 16 June 2016 Sponsor Markers Diversity reg -> Port Cambeltown dated 8th April 1830 Name reg -> Contents september 2009 I.
