    Brief

    This project seeks to produce an internal document for the Office of Students (OfS) that provides evidence-based recommendations for improving the Equality of Opportunity Risk Register (EORR). The deliverable should include: a comprehensive list of evidence to be added or updated within the register, an assessment of whether any existing risks require modification, and recommendations on updates to learner characteristics tracked. The successful supplier will conduct research to identify gaps in current data and provide actionable recommendations to enhance the register's effectiveness in supporting equality of opportunity goals.
