QED workshop: Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of Tertiary Students

Overview - from compliance to excellence

This workshop is an interactive look at what you need to do to review and improve your practice and record keeping to meet and exceed NZQA's expectations for the Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of tertiary and international learners, under the new combined Code which is now effective as of January 2022. This workshop looks at the transition from the current Codes of Practice and what is different in the new code. 

The next face to face QED workshop 'from compliance to excellence' is: TBC - Contact Us to enrol now.

The next online Code of Practice workshop is on: 17th June 2022 - Contact Us to enrol now.

This workshop runs 9.30-3.30 with a 30 minute lunch break and suits staff who have direct or indirect responsibility for the Code, because NZQA expect providers to shift our focus onto outcomes instead of compliance.

The intended outcomes of this workshop are that participants can:
1. Explain key elements of the new Code of Practice.
2. Clarify the Code responsibilities in your job 
3. Map the student journey with key pastoral care roles in your organisation
4. Identify student welfare risk management tasks and resources 
5. Explain NZQA’s reporting requirements for the Code of Practice.

The workshop includes an overview of the Code documentation, summary of responsibilities and valuable insights on where potential pitfalls are.

Previous participants have found the workshop very practical and something of a wake up call: "Great to give me the tools and confidence", "very informative", "systemic and useful", "tailored to the point" and "inspiring".

Location:
The usual venue for the QED Code of Practice workshop is the wonderful Lake House Arts Centre, 37 Fred Thomas Drive, Takapuna – just 5 minutes from the Auckland Harbour bridge and with lots of free parking.
