Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Professional Accreditation of Higher Education Courses: Discussion

Ms Ginny Hanrahan:

In our work, we need to make sure the graduates coming off are actually fully formed and fit to practise. Our legislation only allows us to approve or not approve. As I said, to date we cannot approve of conditions. That is what our legislation says. We have approved all our courses and we work really hard to get the courses across the line. For me, that is the most important thing we do and, from a student safety perspective, that is the best thing we can do.
