About the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)
TEF Advisory group
We established an advisory group to provide expert advice on the design and implementation of the new TEF scheme. Decisions on the overall framework were taken by the OfS.
Appointments were made to the group following a nomination process with stakeholder bodies. Some members were co-opted to the group. The group has representation from across the UK, and includes:
- students
- academics
- employers
- members of professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRB)
- an equalities expert.
The group was formed to operate for a fixed term. It started after the publication of the independent review of the TEF and it will end with the publication of the first set of outcomes from the new exercise.

TEF metrics peer review group
We established a metrics peer review group to undertake expert peer review of the OfS’s proposed statistical methods for the future TEF metrics. The group is also tasked with commenting on the presentation and clarity of the new TEF metrics from a metrics user perspective.
The remit of the group is purely advisory, providing expert input on the TEF metrics, with information flowing between this group and the TEF advisory group.
Activity
The metrics peer review group has met 11 times between October 2019 and October 2021, and will operate up to the point of delivery of the new TEF framework later in 2022.
Membership
The TEF metrics peer review group includes members with expertise on the statistical elements of the metrics, and those who represent key metrics user groups.
