This three-part webinar series will focus on the vital topic of managing risk across single and multiple education sites and settings, and sharing examples and practice to support school, trust, and college leaders with future risk management planning.

Managing risk and personal safety is everyone’s responsibility. There are two ways to look at managing risk: the risk and the reward. It is important to look at ways of making good and better things happen, not just stopping the bad.

Part 3: The ESFA approach to risk - depending on context and income streams, financial risk has heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Delegates will discover how to mitigate financial risk, whilst optimising financial efficiency.

In this session delegates will focus on lessons learned from the work of regulatory bodies, such as the ESFA and look at the practicalities of demonstrating that risk management processes are robust and proportionate.

Participants will:
• outline what a risk register looks like
• understand the ESFA’s approach to risk
• explore the lessons learned from the ESFA’s assurance work.

There will also be the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with other attendees.
