The Sector Network brings together researchers, practitioners and evaluators with an interest in widening participation and student success. Members will provide a ‘voice of the sector’ by addressing emerging issues on the ground and helping TASO influence policy and practice to drive greater equality of opportunity for students.

Advising: To meet TASO’s requirement of ensuring successful ‘translation and adoption of evidence’.

Innovation: To respond to ideas being put forward by TASO, to suggest potential solutions to challenges being presented by TASO and to proactively share ideas with TASO for continual improvement.

Capacity-building: To help shape and/or co-create events, training, conferences that empower and build capacity with sector colleagues.

Access: To have access to TASO’s reports and evidence before general release and opportunities to attend Sector Network specific events to help you expand your personal network.
