Area of focus	1 Institutional readiness
Criterion	1-6 Processes and procedures for staffing WBL programmes
Main statement	Processes and procedures for allocating staff workloads and recruiting full or part-time staff have been adapted to enable the university to meet employer’s needs responsively.
Self assessment guidelines	The process for allocating staff workloads reflects the fact that the demand for WBL tutors/mentors is less predictable than that for mainstream campus- based programmes which may involve short lead times and not fit an annual repeat cycle. Measures such as the use of flexible part-time contracts, permanent staff overtime and associate WBL tutors are used to ensure that the university can meet or exceed employer’s expectations as to responsiveness when establishing delivering or modifying WBL provision. Workplace mentors are trained and supported. WBL mentees support expectations are clearly set out and understood by all parties.
Evidence to look for	There is recognition that different expertise and practical experience is needed for supporting WB learners and the recruitment, selection and workload allocation processes reflect this. Where appropriate, Job Descriptions and Person specifications reflect WBL expertise-specific criteria. A database/knowledge map of WBL-competent full time part-time and associate tutors is available for matching staff to employer/employee needs both for delivery and for the design of bespoke programmes and individual action plans. Staff competent in APEL assessment are available across all key subject areas. Where necessary staff with relevant competences can be wholly or partially re-assigned to WBL duties part way through the academic year by the use of part-timers to cover other aspects of their workload.
