The Academic Integrity Advisory Group informs QAA’s activity in protecting academic integrity. The purpose of the Advisory Group is to provide expert advice and opinion, on behalf of the sector, on policy development and activities to protect academic integrity in UK higher education.
The remit of the Group is to:
- share good practice in promoting academic integrity and identify areas of existing or potential threat to academic integrity, including offering advice on action to combat such threats
- promote activity to uphold academic integrity, such as providing information and advice for staff, students and wider stakeholders
- provide a point of coordination for discussion and action on academic integrity activity in UK higher education.
