ERO review

ERO review · 2018-12-20

This review predates ERO's current 4-point placement scale (introduced 2020). The overall judgement is omitted; the per-dimension grades below are extracted from the review prose and remain comparable.

Review is 7 years old. ERO reassesses most services on a 3-year cycle, so a current review is likely in progress or recently due. Per-dimension grades below reflect this review's prose — they're useful as historical context but the centre's current quality may differ.
