Outcome Agreements

Academic Year 2023-24 was the final year in which SFC required colleges and universities to submit Outcome Agreements. SFC’s revised approach to assurance and accountability – the Outcomes Framework and Assurance Model –  replaces Outcome Agreements from the Academic Year 2024-25.

Outcome Agreements set out the activities that colleges and universities planned to deliver in return for their funding from us. Institutional Engagement and Outcomes lead contacts worked with institutions to develop their Outcome Agreements.
