Self-Assurance Workflow in PRP Quality

Six key stages of the self-assurance process in the PRP Quality Platform 

1. Regulatory Acts and Frameworks

  • The workflow begins with identifying and aligning to higher education and vocational education regulatory frameworks (e.g., TEQSA, ASQA, ACECQA, ANMAC). This ensures all evidence and processes are mapped to the correct compliance requirements from the start. 
     

2. Industry and Professions

  • Incorporates industry and professional accreditation standards into institutional quality assurance. This step ensures the institution not only meets regulatory requirements but also satisfies professional body expectations.


​3. Key Delegations of Authority 

  • Defines roles, responsibilities, and delegations across the institution, including committee chairs and position holders. This ensures clear accountability for decision-making and compliance oversight.
     

​4. Policies and Procedures

  • Captures all institutional policies, procedures, and processes relevant to regulatory compliance and internal governance, forming the operational backbone of quality assurance. 


5. Data, Forms, and Templates

  • Compiles all data sources, forms, and templates used to support policies, procedures, and processes—ensuring evidence is standardised and audit-ready. 
     

6. Monitoring and Compliance

  • Implements institutional monitoring and compliance checks, including the identification and management of institutional risks, to maintain ongoing adherence to standards.
     

Self-Assurance Outcome

  • By following this structured workflow, institutions create a comprehensive self-assurance process that integrates regulatory and professional standards, clear authority lines, documented procedures, supporting evidence, and active compliance monitoring—allowing for continual improvement and readiness for audits or re-accreditation.
