    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.
