Internal scrutiny and risk

Risk management  allows an educational institution to identify and define what risks are present within the organisation and manage potential future risks before becoming present. Risk management  also outlines what policies need to be in place, and how to reduce risk and oversee the ways in which risk is handled in schools. 

While risk can be unpredictable and sudden, there are a few common areas of risk identified  within schools. From governance, financial and legal risk, cyber security, data protection, accidents, fire, maintenance, visitor access and more.

Internal scrutiny in schools refers to the process of independently assessing and evaluating financial and non-financial controls, risk management procedures, and leadership practices to ensure effective governance, compliance with educational standards and best practise.
