Subject Benchmark Statements, which have been drafted and published by QAA for more than two decades, describe the nature of study and the academic standards expected of graduates in specific subject areas. They show what graduates can reasonably be expected to know, do and understand at the end of their studies.
Dr MacDermott is one of two Deputy Chairs leading the development of Statements in their social work, alongside Advisory Group members from across the four nations, to ensure these Statements serve as valuable resources for HEI social work communities and inform a range of key purposes – including as reference points in the design, delivery and review of academic courses. The process of creating and reviewing subject benchmarks is facilitated by QAA.
