Areas of Potential Risks in Schools and Trusts
- It can be challenging and time-consuming for school administrators to navigate complex regulations and compliance requirements set by educational authorities.
- Schools and trusts may struggle with financial transparency, managing budgets, and distributing resources effectively.
- Striking a balance between a range of administrative responsibilities and duties while making sure that everyday operations run smoothly.
- Losing accountability and transparency in decision-making processes and resource allocation may result in further problems. Instead, building confidence among stakeholders, including parents, staff, and regulatory bodies should be prioritised.
- Setting up efficient governance structures and procedures to supervise an institution's strategic direction and compliance requirements, especially for multi-academy trusts.
