The Scottish Government provides secretariat support to both the main Review group and all sub-groups. Complementing the four sub-groups, Ms Gadhia has been working with Scottish Government officials on a Finance sub-group concerned with assembly of relevant financial information on the current student support system as it relates to colleges and universities, with the Chair reporting directly to the Review group on that.
The Review process has engaged extensively with students via a student survey, consultation, and focus groups which have taken place at both colleges and universities across Scotland.
