SCQF Partnership Annual Impact Report 2021/22

Jamie Hepburn MSP, Minister for Higher Education and Further Education, Youth Employment & Training

During those 20 years, the Framework’s impact in providing coherence across all assessed learning taking place in Scotland has proven itself; it has provided clarity and assurance for our learners, regardless of age or circumstances, seeking to acquire new skills and knowledge and attain recognition for their achievements.

The Scottish Government’s confidence in the work of the SCQF Partnership was reflected in our response to the Muir Review recommendations in March this year, when we reaffirmed our commitment to maintaining the independent, non-sectoral status of the Partnership. We also committed to supporting the Partnership’s work, across government and its agencies, to further enhance the Framework’s use and relevance across our qualifications and assessed learning systems.

As Scottish Government continues to deliver Scotland’s education reform programme, from early years to tertiary education and adult learning, I am heartened to see the Partnership’s commitment to enabling access to educational opportunity for our population. Work on parity of esteem across assessed learning, recognition of prior skills and learning and support for employers, schools and further and higher education institutions in explaining the breadth of learning opportunities on offer all contribute to this goal.

The report highlights that now over 150 School Ambassadors have been trained, refugees coming to Scotland supported to map their previous skills and qualifications to our education system and a new tool launched for Veterans seeking to find new career pathways. I am pleased to see that all level 6 SCQF learning is now recognised on UCAS Tariff tables, enabling learners with more diverse pathways to access our higher education system. At the same time I am reassured that the credit rating bodies participating on the Framework continue to be quality assured and supported.

In the context of my Government’s commitment to a fair and green economic recovery, delivered through our National Strategy for Economic Transformation, I look forward to hearing more of the Partnership’s progress in promoting and enhancing the Framework in the coming year. Can I take this opportunity to thank the board and staff of the Partnership for another successful and impactful year of delivery.”

“I am delighted to be introducing this year’s Annual Report for the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework Partnership as it completes its 20th year of operating within the education and skills landscape in Scotland.

CHAIR & CEO’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR

This year has continued to be challenging for the SCQF Partnership, as it has been for many other organisations.

Although we have been able to factor in some face to face work, the bulk of our interaction has continued to be online and we have looked at ways of enhancing that service to ensure that we continue to support our stakeholders and customers.

It is also worth recognising that it has been a year of wider change and challenge in the sector. The review undertaken by Professor Ken Muir led to a number of recommendations relating to the education and training sector, and the Scottish Government is now working to implement a programme of reform. However, the Cabinet Secretary has decided that the SCQF should remain as it has been since its inceptionneutral, independent and cross-sector.

Throughout this year we have seen some really interesting and innovative practice around the enhancement and use of the SCQF and we hope that you enjoy reading about some of these in more detail in this report. Highlights include:

In July 2021, we were delighted to announce that ScotRail had become an SCQF Inclusive Recruiter, committing to using SCQF levels in its recruitment processes.

Larbert High School was confirmed as the very first Gold level SCQF School Ambassador. We launched the tiered recognition element of the SCQF School Ambassador programme in October 2020 to ensure that all the inspiring work on enhancing learning pathways being undertaken in secondary schools across Scotland is recognised, highlighted and celebrated.

To support universities and colleges to expand their expertise in credit rating, we agreed to offer some funding. Given the extent to which blended learning came to the forefront in 2020/21 and will continue to do so, the focus of this project was to fund programmes that already existed, that could be delivered online, and that were not already credit rated. Proposals from Dumfries & Galloway College and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland were accepted and you can read more detail about these in the report.

In February 2022, the Veterans’ Skills and Qualifications Discovery Tool went live. This online tool hosted by Skills Development Scotland was the culmination of a 12-month collaborative project supported by the Ministry of Defence and the SCQFP. The tool helps service leavers and veterans identify what skills to highlight in their CV and application forms, and indicates the broadly comparable SCQF level of qualifications taken in service. Next year will see further development of this tool.

We ran our first online conference in March 2022. With a theme of Recognising Skills in a Changing Landscape, it was attended by more than 200 delegates and brought together a wide range of SCQF stakeholders, partners and learners. Feedback on the range of discussion and case studies provided was hugely positive and, although we missed the face to face networking, we were pleased that delegates found the agenda both informative and engaging.

Our role in quality assurance continued throughout the year and feedback from those involved was that the online nature of the engagement actually enhanced the overall discussion and action planning.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners and stakeholders for continuing to engage fully with us in what we know were challenging times. For such a small team with a wide remit we rely heavily on the commitment and enthusiasm of our partners to bring the SCQF to life.

SCQF CONFERENCE & SCQF WEEK 2022

SCQF Week 2022 took place 21-25 March and incorporated our first ever online conference on 24 March.

With a theme of Recognising Skills in a Changing Landscape, the conference was hosted by Ruth Jennings, Skills Development Programmes Manager for Sainsbury’s Ltd. Attended by more than 200 delegates, it brought together a wide range of SCQF stakeholders from sectors as diverse as schools, colleges, universities, Credit Rating Bodies, employers, private training providers, Community Learning and Development, international framework owners and, very importantly, learners.

The event featured a varied line-up of speakers showcasing the range of uses of the SCQF, a panel session exploring future use of the SCQF, and five breakout seminars with contributions from organisations such as Newbattle High School, Scottish Funding Council, ScotRail, Glasgow Caledonian University, and Fife College.

The afternoon keynote address was provided by ShirleyAnne Somerville MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills. During her speech, she acknowledged the

importance of the SCQF saying that, “The Framework underpins our entire education system here in Scotland, supporting our commitment to first class and lifelong learning and training opportunities for all.”

SCQF Week encouraged users across a range of social media platforms to share their own SCQF journey or wishes for the future and had a specific focus for each day of the week:

• MON 21 MARCH FOCUS:

SCQF APPROVED CREDIT RATING BODIES

• TUES 22 MARCH FOCUS:

EMPLOYERS AND SCQF INCLUSIVE RECRUITERS

• WED 23 MARCH FOCUS: SCHOOL & COLLEGE AMBASSADORS

• THURS 24 MARCH FOCUS: SCQF ONLINE CONFERENCE

• FRI 25 MARCH FOCUS:

THE FUTURE

We saw an increase in activity during SCQF Week and in the run up to the conference with a reach of 2.7 million people, 3.3K interactions and 2.4K shares which is quite an achievement for an organisation of our size.

LARBERT HS FIRST GOLD SA SCHOOL

Larbert High School was confirmed as the very first Gold level SCQF School Ambassador.

Launched in 2015, the School Ambassador programme offers secondary schools the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of the SCQF and the wider ways in which it supports learners such as recognising wider achievement, developing Senior Phase learning pathways and demonstrating equality between vocational and academic qualifications.

We launched the tiered recognition element of the SCQF School Ambassador programme in October 2020 to ensure that all the inspiring work on enhancing learning pathways being undertaken in secondary schools across Scotland is recognised, highlighted and celebrated.

There are three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) in the process, with schools required to upload evidence to demonstrate how they are meeting the criteria of each level. To recognise their fantastic achievement, Larbert High School staff and pupils received a gold plaque which is now displayed in the school’s reception area.

Karen Cullen, DHT at the school, said: “Larbert High immediately saw the opportunities the SCQF Ambassador programme could bring for young people. We knew that we had to help develop the knowledge and understanding of pupils, parents and staff to really see a difference in outcomes for students. We did this by transforming the language we used by incorporating SCQF levels in everything that we do. As a result … our educational language, mind-set and learner pathways have transformed and in turn transformed the learner journey of our students. Being the first school in Scotland to achieve Gold level status is just the cherry on top.”

Jon Reid, Rector at Larbert added: “We’ve been on a mission at Larbert High School over the last few years to ensure that our Senior Phase curriculum has lots of different pathways that can lead to the same positive destination. We’ve worked with our staff, young people and parents to dispel the myth that Highers are the be-all and end-all of secondary schools, and as a result we have more young people than ever before following more modern, new and contemporary pathways. This has pushed their skills to a higher level than ever before and will ensure that they have the ‘edge’ when they are ready to leave school entering into what is a highly competitive young workforce.”

MUIR REVIEW/REPORT & SCQFP RESPONSE

The Muir Report on education reform in Scotland was published on 9 March 2022, entitled Putting Learners at the Centre: Towards a Future Vision for Scottish Education

We acknowledge and would like to thank Professor Ken Muir for his thorough and detailed report which highlighted the importance of the SCQF in the wider landscape of education, training and skills across Scotland.

We also wish to thank the Cabinet Secretary for her response to the report reinforcing her support for the SCQF Partnership and the need for it to retain its independent and non-sectoral status which she indicates is central to its ability to broker a holistic approach across the learner journey.

We look forward to working with Scottish Government and key stakeholders over the coming months to consider how to further strengthen the impact of the Framework, especially in light of the upcoming educational reform.

20 YEARS OF THE SCQF

With the 20th anniversary of the creation of the SCQF landing in 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, the celebration of the milestone was very low key. We published blogs from both our former and current Chairs of the Board reflecting respectively on the beginnings of the SCQF and how the SCQF has been an essential tool in allowing educational change to take place in Scotland.

We also ran a series of team profiles on our website, featuring all 12 staff of the SCQFP which highlighted the role of each individual and provided a wee insight into what makes our minds tick! With the relaxation of restrictions in 2022, we have planned a “coming of age” celebration of the SCQF turning 21. More to be revealed as we move through 2022.

We carried out 7 annual monitoring activities and 1 periodic review of SCQFP Approved CRBs in accordance with our published Quality Assurance Model.

In addition, 5 reviews of colleges were completed within the first year of the 4-year cycle of reviews of colleges as CRBs.

The SCQF Quality Committee has oversight of all review activities. Members of this Committee are appointed by the SCQF Board on the basis of their expertise and experience in the development and quality assurance of credit, qualifications and frameworks and represent a range of sectors, awarding and quality assurance bodies.

SCQFP

Approved CRB Forum launched

The SCQFP Approved CRB

Forum was set up to allow SCQFP Approved CRB representatives to come together to share good practice, discuss future developments and explore matters related to the role of SCQF Credit Rating Body, including the credit rating process and associated monitoring and review activities. The Forum is chaired and managed by the CRB with support from the SCQFP team. The first meeting of the group was held in May 2021. It meets twice a year.

“I find the CRB Forum a useful network for support and discussion on best practice and common challenges. It prompts thinking and reflection on my credit rating operations. Being part of the Forum also provides a valuable opportunity to engage collectively with each other and the Partnership to gain information and shared understanding.”

Sharon Brophy, Professional Standards Officer, Scottish Prison Service College

21 CRBs attended workshops

SCQF College Ambassadors

Refresher training was offered to SCQF College Ambassadors whose initial training was delivered over 1 year ago and Dumfries and Galloway College and Inverness College UHI took this opportunity to retrain their staff. The Community Learning & Development Team at Glasgow Clyde College also worked with us to create a video demonstrating the benefits of being an SCQF College Ambassador for staff and students. Watch it here.

Funded credit rating

To support universities and colleges to expand their expertise in credit rating, we offered funding for the year 2021/22. As blended learning came to the forefront in 2020/21 and will continue to do so, the focus was on programmes that already exist, could be delivered online, and not already credit rated.

Proposals from Dumfries & Galloway College and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland were accepted and work began on the project in October 2021. SCQF College Ambassador, Dumfries & Galloway College, credit rated its Journey to Employment programme. The fully online course was designed to help young people build employability skills, create a current CV, prepare for interviews and take part in a virtual work placement.

Mandy Wallace, Learning & Teaching Innovation Manager at D&G College said:

“We found the whole experience very enjoyable, and it was a simpler process than any of us thought. This was a great experience, and we look forward to producing more credit rated programmes.”

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland credit rated its Junior Conservatoire of Filmmaking programme. This 3-year course aims to train and develop the next generation of filmmakers, supporting student transitions to further or HE study.

The Junior Conservatoire is offered across three levels of study, each comprising 175 online contact hours per academic year. The course runs across each academic year with an annual intake of students.

Marlisa Ross Short Courses and Business Development Manager at RCS added: “This project has provided an excellent opportunity for RCS to develop staff knowledge, understanding and confidence in their abilities to apply credit rating processes within our Pre-HE provision.”

LAUNCH OF VETERANS’ SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS DISCOVERY TOOL

February

was the culmination of a 12-month collaborative project by Skills Development Scotland, Ministry of Defence and the SCQFP. The tool helps service leavers and veterans identify what skills to highlight in their CV and application forms, and indicates the broadly comparable SCQF level of qualifications taken in service. The tool is being developed further and, in the near future, will also be able to make suggestions for potential career paths based on users’ skills profiles, helping them to make decisions about their future career and learning.

NEW SCQF INCLUSIVE RECRUITERS19 TOTAL SCQF INCLUSIVE RECRUITERS34 249 EMPLOYERS USING SCQF LEVELS TO RECRUIT

SCOTRAIL BECOMES INCLUSIVE RECRUITER

In July 2021, we were delighted to announce that ScotRail had become an SCQF Inclusive Recruiter, committing to using SCQF levels in its recruitment processes. With over 5000 employees based across Scotland, ScotRail is a large employer with a proud history.

Launched in 2019, the aim of SCQF Inclusive Recruiter is to help employers and HR professionals understand that many different qualifications have the same worth, and to encourage use of SCQF levels in the recruitment process to offer clarity around skills and experience.

employers engaged through SCQF workshops, presentations and online events

Neil Archibald, ScotRail Head of Strategic Workforce Planning, said: “This is a really progressive move by ScotRail as we continue to develop our methods of attracting the best candidates for vacancies. By adding SCQF levels into the recruitment mix, we are confident we will be able to identify skills and experiences that might previously have been ignored or overlooked. We believe this will be good for applicants, for ScotRail and for the wider rail network, as we will all benefit from a more flexible and robust selection process.”

KNOW YOUR LEVEL TOOL LAUNCHED

For employers, the SCQF helps to determine the level of skill or competence required for a particular role when recruiting. Whilst there are jobs that do require specific qualifications, such as those in healthcare or engineering, many are broader in their requirements.

The Know Your Level tool, launched in February 2022, enables employers to level job roles to the SCQF and complements our SCQF Inclusive Recruiter programme.

Lorena Little, Business Director at YouthLink Scotland says: “This tool will really help us to uphold our values of equality and diversity at YouthLink Scotland. Finding the most suitable SCQF level and using this when recruiting allows more accessibility and inclusiveness to all

candidates who apply for roles within our organisation.”

Seonaid Mann, Talent Acquisition, Fair Work and Equality, South of Scotland Enterprise adds: “I think this new tool is extremely helpful and gives a level of clarity that was possibly missing before now. The ability to be able to link advertisements to the SCQF website is another really positive step that we will start using from now on. I also think that the way you have set out the representative competencies of job holders at each level will be extremely helpful when it comes to writing and evaluating job descriptions.”

part in 8 online Would You Credit It? Workshops

We introduced the recognition element of the School Ambassador programme to ensure that all the hard work on enhancing learning pathways being done in secondary schools across Scotland is recognised, highlighted and celebrated. There are now 3 levels in the process, with schools required to upload evidence to demonstrate how they are meeting the criteria of each level.

Larbert High School was confirmed as the very first Gold level SCQF School Ambassador in July 2021. (see page 7 for more info)

Silver Ambassador status was awarded to Stirling High School in March 2021 and Kilmarnock Academy in February 2022. Both schools are continuing to work towards Gold level.

Depute Head at Stirling HS, Alan Hamilton, said, “The tiered framework provided our Pupil Ambassadors with a clear focus for getting the most out of the SCQF. It allowed them to plan and take ownership of their plans. As a result, the SCQF is embedded across the school and they have clear

ideas for their next steps.”

By end of March 2022, we had 8 Bronze Ambassador schools, from all around Scotland. Although the schools are all very different, the one thing they have in common is the desire to improve the learning opportunities for, and life chances of, Scotland’s young people.

James McPartlin, Pupil Support Leader at Castlebrae CHS said: “In June 2021 the school achieved Bronze status. I trained my Leadership level 5/6 class up as SCQF School Ambassadors. We had recently completed course choices and were able to use the course choice sheet to identify what courses and levels we were already offering. We realised as a school we already met some criteria at all levels. One of the main tasks was creating a pathways display board.

This is now displayed in Guidance. The leadership class are now pursuing level 6 leadership and have 1 period dedicated to working on SCQF Silver level.”

UCAS TARIFF FOR SCQF LEVEL 6 WORK UNDERTAKEN

UCAS worked closely with the SCQF Partnership and SQA to have a wider range of SCQF level 6 programmes included in the UCAS Tariff Tables.

for colleagues in Wales and the Netherlands ONLINE SESSIONS

DEVELOPMENT OF ONLINE INFO PACK FOR INTERNATIONAL GROUPS

As a result, SCQF Level 6 programmes, with the programme owner’s permission, can be assigned UCAS Tariff points and included in the Tariff tables. This new tariff will be applicable to students starting higher education from September 2023 onwards.

UCAS has worked collaboratively to ensure that the highest number of SCQF Level 6 qualifications will receive points, and that these points will be aligned to the points that English, Welsh and Northern Irish qualifications receive.

HOSTED THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE UK AND IRELAND QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORKS GROUP ONLINE

The SCQFP wishes to thank the SCQF Credit Rating Bodies and programme owners who helped with the collation of the information needed to support this process and work will continue to include more SCQF Level 6 programmes at the next update to the tariff in 2023.

BOLOGNA

Whilst Covid-19 continued to impact on visits to Scotland from international colleagues and colleagues in other parts of the UK, we provided some information and support sessions online. These included sessions on RPL for colleagues from Wales as well as a group from the Netherlands. We also continued to support our colleges in their international work providing an online session for a group from Wisconsin, USA for New College Lanarkshire as part of an International Credit Mobility project.

The SCQFP is part of the Bologna Scottish Stakeholder Group and represents that group on the Bologna Implementation Coordination Group (BICG) Thematic Peer Group AQualifications Framework. This group was established to support the further implementation of Bologna Key Commitment 1 (a three-cycle system compatible with the overarching Qualifications Framework of the EHEA and first and second cycle degrees scaled by ECTS).
