This decision was made as part of UCAS’ annual review of plans and budget. The SPA team will be leaving UCAS on Friday 29 September 2017.
The team has been working hard over the summer to secure alternative funding, and is awaiting the outcome. An update from SPA will follow shortly, and we’ll also keep you informed of any progress. In the interim, if you have any queries regarding support, please contact your relationship manager or the Professional Development Team.
After 29 September, the SPA team can be contacted at dan@fairadmissions.org.
UCAS will continue to host the SPA website, providing its resources on good practice.
Clare Marchant, UCAS' CEO, said: ‘SPA’s contribution to the understanding and development of fair admissions, through the provision of evidence-based good practice and expertise, has made a significant impact on admissions practice at universities and colleges, to the benefit of many students. We hope that the outcome of current negotiations will enable SPA to continue its good work in the future'.
