In the dynamic environment of education, managing risks effectively is crucial for the success and sustainability of educational institutions, especially for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) overseeing multiple academies.
SchooliP's Audits module provides a robust solution for implementing a comprehensive Risk Register tailored to the specific needs of MATs.
Here's how we have set up the Risk Register across various domains:

- Identify risks related to the availability and effectiveness of support services.
- Link risks to specific support functions, such as teacher training or student services.
2. Ofsted:
- Assess risks related to Ofsted inspections and compliance.
- Outline strategies for maintaining or improving Ofsted ratings.
3. Safeguarding:
- Highlight potential risks associated with safeguarding procedures.
- Allocate responsibilities for maintaining a safe and secure environment.
4. Budget:
- Identify financial risks and uncertainties.
- Connect risks to specific budgetary categories and allocate resources accordingly.
5. Leadership Capacity & Collaboration:
- Evaluate risks related to leadership capacity and collaborative efforts.
- Propose actions for strengthening leadership and fostering collaboration.
6. Governance:
- Assess risks associated with governance structures and practices.
- Define measures to ensure effective governance and compliance.
7. Academy Improvement & Self-Evaluation:
- Pinpoint risks that may impede continuous improvement.
- Link risks to areas of self-evaluation and improvement plans.
8. Curriculum:
- Identify risks affecting curriculum delivery and development.
