YOUR RISK REGISTER IS COMPLETE, BUT CAN YOU REALLY RELY ON IT?

At the beginning of a new school year, operational leaders are balancing staffing, finance, estates, compliance, safeguarding and competing priorities.

The risk register may have been updated, but that does not necessarily mean:

• Every risk has a clear and appropriate owner
• Controls are consistently operating
• Evidence is available when it is needed
• Emerging risks are escalated early enough
• Leaders and governors receive meaningful assurance

A register records what the organisation believes should happen.

Real assurance comes from knowing what is happening in practice.

This session is for

• School Business Managers
• Operations Managers and Operational Leaders
• Lead school business practitioners
• COOs and trust-wide leaders
• Colleagues responsible for risk, controls, compliance or assurance.

Whether you are developing your knowledge or already working strategically, the session will help you examine risk through an operational and assurance-focused lens.
