Risk management that covers every base
Catalyst Risk brings together the identification and management of every typical risk an educational body faces.

And with our expert compliance team on hand to provide additional support, you can feel confident that your education environment is as safe as it possibly can be.
Supporting informed leadership.
School governors are Britain’s largest body of volunteers, and for many of them, keeping track of constantly changing educational needs and compliance demands can be difficult in their spare time. Our team of experienced governance professionals are here to help, either in-school or remotely. Their advice and guidance, across technical matters, procedures, compliance and more, can ensure every educational body maintains the effective governance they need.
Take learning beyond the classroom.
Pupils’ learning is enriched when they can explore the wider world outside the school gates. To help you make that happen safely, our Educational Visits team can provide all the support you need. Providing guidance on health and safety, duty of care and other risk requirements, we help you record, monitor and gain approval for all your outside trips and visits, managed through a handy online system.

If you need more information on Risk & Governance, our FAQs will be able to answer any questions you have.
Risk governance allows an educational institution to identify and define what risks are present within the organisation and manage potential future risks before becoming present. Risk governance also outlines what policies need to be in place, how to reduce risk and oversee the ways in which risk is handled in schools.
Governance within an organisation is the overall set up of rules, standards and practices that guide an institution. Knowing what your school goals are is important in setting up correct governance. Risk, on the other hand, is the task of identifying potential threats to the organisation and creating a plan to reduce or eliminate their impact.
While risk can be unpredictable and sudden, there are a few particular risks to track within schools. From governance, financial and legal risk, cyber security, data protection, accidents, fire, maintenance, visitor access and more. All of these risks have to be carefully considered and managed, for the safety of your students, staff, and facilities.
Our expert compliance team is always on hand and there to support you so that you can feel confident in the safety of your educational environment. After all, the safety of your students staff and visitors are always the first priority, and protecting your facility is an important second.
