This resource toolkit has been produced with the help and support of funding from LSIS.
Peer Review and Development is defined as: “a process whereby professionals of similar status or
standing exercise collective judgments about the quality and standards of provision, as well as
shared responsibilities for their improvement.”
Key principles of any Peer Review and Development approach:
- A collaborative process involving peers
- A whole organisation approach building from a focus which has been negotiated
within the PRD Group and/or nominated by the host
- Specifically directed at helping improvement
- Emphasis placed on listening to the voice of the learners
Self regulation is the way forward, enabling providers to take greater responsibility, both
individually and collectively for the planning and improving of provision. Peer Review is an
integral part of this process.
In Nottinghamshire, the E2E improvement group fully embraces peer review and
development.
The group feels that this approach leads to quality improvement and in turn positive
learner progressions.
Specific benefits identified initially include:
- Assuring self-assessments are accurate
- Helping to secure the E2E delivery infrastructure across Nottinghamshire
- Collaboration and sharing good practice
- Evaluating the effectiveness of the quality implementation process (capacity to
improve)
- Ensuring that all E2E provision at least meets the minimum LSC floor targets
- The continuous development of managers and staff |
