The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the accessibility to people who are digitally excluded of the consultation on Franchising in higher education.

Answered by Janet Daby

The department’s consultation on franchising in higher education (HE) offers different alternatives to respond in order to meet the range of accessibility needs.

There is an option to respond via post by using a printed copy of the consultation document, for those who cannot respond online. A print-ready copy of the consultation document is also available to download on GOV.UK at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/franchising-in-higher-education.

The consultation document also sets out that if anyone is having any difficultly responding online, they can contact the department using the contact details provided in the consultation document to request assistance or an alternative option to respond.
