Areas of Potential Risks in Schools and Trusts
Schools and trusts must pinpoint and address any potential risks or challenges that can damage their reputation, efficiency, and compliance. Let’s explore various issues that need to be addressed without delay.
Complex Regulations and Compliance Standards
It’s a daily challenge and a time-intensive task for your school or MAT’s administration to constantly monitor the evolving compliance standards and regulations in the education sector.
Financial Operational Inefficiencies
Your MAT or school may struggle with effectively creating and handling budgets, ensuring resources are distributed evenly, and guaranteeing financial operations are transparent and accounted for.
Balancing Daily Operations and Admin Tasks
It can be a constant challenge for your staff to juggle day-to-day school operations with managing administrative functions.
Poor Stakeholder Confidence
How accountable and transparent your school or MAT is while making decisions and allocating resources influences your reputation and trust. Avoid inviting any problems or issues, and build confidence among all important stakeholders of your MAT or school.
Ineffective MAT Governance
Poorly defined strategic goals and disregarding compliance needs can put the future of your MAT at risk. Effectively governing a Multi-Academy Trust stems from setting up clearly defined systems, structures and processes.
The school operations experts at Keystone Knowledge understand these potential risks and are equipped to effectively deal with them. Our MAT risk management North London team will work with your trust or school to develop a bespoke solution to resolve any issues and mitigate any vulnerabilities.
