   • Address underperforming modules and implement changes within an academic term.
7. Regulatory Compliance
   • Ensure curriculum meets all relevant standards, including Ofsted EIF, ESFA funding rules, and awarding body guidelines.
   • Conduct quarterly documentation reviews and prepare for inspections/audits.
8. Employer & Learner Voice
   • Lead structured feedback loops including surveys, panels, and consultation sessions.
   • Use insights to inform roadmap decisions and strengthen curriculum relevance.
9. Internal Training & Knowledge Sharing
