Planning for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, the changes and impacts will continue for some time. It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards.

We have designed three short series of learning academy modules, along with a top-tips & pitfalls to avoid for homeworking webinar and then a virtual networking group to help you. Phil Anderson has written an article about some of the considerations you might need to make.

Objectivity and subjectivity & The challenge of accuracy

This module explores the balance between objectivity, subjectivity, and accuracy in quality assessments:
- Consistency Challenges: Highlights the difficulties of achieving perfect accuracy in quality checks, noting limitations in both human and automated evaluations.
- Objective vs. Subjective Criteria: Explores how subjective assessments can sometimes offer more reliable insights due to their flexibility in interpreting context, compared to the rigid nature of objective metrics.
- Quality Check Optimisation: Advocates for regular calibration of quality systems to improve accuracy, while warning against overemphasising precision at the expense of broader quality improvements.
