Planning and Review

Introduction

Quality assurance at UWS is embedded in the University’s ongoing strategic and operational planning, accreditation, reporting and review processes. The University endeavours to ensure the core activities of learning, research and engagement are working productively with the direct support of enabling services including the library, student services, information technology, financial management and student administration to achieve its mission and strategic directions.

The Plan, Implement, Review, Improve (PIRI) Cycle

The University recognises that planning, implementation, review and improvement are ongoing. The UWS Planning, Reporting and Review Cycle (opens in a new window)(PDF, 18Kb) outlines our rolling cycle.

The PIRI principles are implemented through a cyclical process of:

  • planning, including setting a new strategic direction or a key improvement to current practice, on the basis of internal and/or external review
  • implementing the plan and monitoring the results against agreed performance measures
  • reviewing performance against the data reported and then re-planning
  • improvement based on review as well as sustaining those areas of good practice identified as working well during implementation.
