SUMS Consulting at the Westminster Higher Education Forum

We are pleased to participate in the Westminster Higher Education Forum Conference: Financial sustainability and long-term funding of UK higher education.

This conference will focus on the financial sustainability, resilience, and stability of the UK higher education sector, looking at immediate priorities alongside longer-term options for funding models. It will bring together stakeholders, regulators and policymakers to examine issues in the context of sector-wide pressures, with the anticipated publication in the autumn of a government White Paper on post-16 education and skills, which is expected to outline the next phase of higher education funding reform.

Join Helen Baird, Managing Consultant, SUMS Consulting and Charlotte Corrish, Head of Public Policy, Office of the Independent Adjudicator, for a discussion on Managing financial stress, insolvency risk, and options for market exit. 

Helen and Charlotte's discussion will commence at 9.45.

All delegates will be able to contribute to the output of the conference, which will be shared with parliamentary, ministerial, departmental and regulatory offices, and more widely. This includes the full proceedings and additional articles submitted by delegates. As well as key stakeholders, those already due to attend include parliamentary pass-holders from the House of Commons and officials from the Department for Education; Department for Business and Trade; Department for Science, Innovation and Technology; Department for the Economy, NI; the Welsh Government; and The Scottish Government.
