Our Strategic Partners

HELOA has established strategic partnerships with a number of different organisations across the sector to provide mutual benefits to both parties and to our members, supporting objectives set out in HELOA’s strategic plan.

HELOA works in partnership with:

UCAS

UCAS recognises the high level of expertise and wide experience HELOA members possess regarding the dissemination of information for potential students and their influencers. HELOA members are frequently consulted by UCAS and are members of a range of review and decision making groups. HELOA and UCAS meet regularly to explore and develop a range of IAG issues.

HELOA and UCAS have developed joint working groups for events and product developments within UCAS with representatives from each HELOA group and key stakeholders.
