Governing Schools: a Risky Business

Sarah Beaumont BA (Hons) FRSA, Head of Governor Services, focusses on the importance of managing risk.

ISSUE 58 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

THE EDUCATION SPACE - NEWSLETTER - NEWS

Risk is inherent in everything that schools do, from child protection and safeguarding, to health and safety, and educational visits.

Whilst it is a requirement for academy trusts to manage risks to ensure their effective operation, including maintaining a risk register, and conducting contingency and business continuity planning, it is still not so for maintained schools.

Nevertheless, it would be prudent for maintained schools to know, review and manage their risks at a strategic level. Risk management should be an essential part of governance and leadership and an integral part of business planning and decision-making processes.

As a relatively new enterprise, academies have been borrowing from other more established sectors such as business and education to build effective governance models, where there have been gaps in regulation.

There is now good opportunity for maintained schools to look to academies to model good practice, where requirements are not laid in statute.

Risk management involves identifying, measuring, managing, monitoring and reporting threats to business objectives. Such threats can arise from a wide variety of sources such as litigation relating

to safeguarding failures, financial uncertainty from a falling roll, security risk from inappropriate access to data, property risk from fire or flood, accidents resulting in injury, natural disasters, and of course a global pandemic.

School leaders identify risks and implement appropriate mitigating control measures as part of normal business, for example managing the risks associated with school trips.

There are many categories of risk, and failure to manage any of these may lead to financial, reputational, legal, regulatory, safety, security, environmental, employee, customer and operational consequences.

Risk management is not about adding new processes, but ensuring processes are integrated in the management and operation of businesses. Effectively managing risk informs business decisions, enables a more effective use of public money, supports strategic planning and sets out contingency planning. It also protects everyone in the school community.

New guidance from The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) walks academies through the risk management process, and much can be learned by all types of school from this guidance.

ISSUE 58 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

THE EDUCATION SPACE - NEWSLETTER - NEWS

and training arrangements to ensure effective risk management is embedded throughout the organisation.

All potential events that are a threat to the achievement of business objectives (including not capitalising on opportunities) should be identified, defined and categorised.

This is best done as a collective exercise and not just undertaken by one tier of management.

To ensure all major risks are identified it is helpful to consider the various types of risk and there are several different ways to categorise them. The risks may be internal, external, strategic, or related to a project or programme.

Understanding the type of risk being faced can also help determine what action is best to take.

The guidance states that an organisation’s approach to risk should be set out in a risk management policy. This should set out the framework for risk management, including risk appetite, the processes for identifying, categorising, measuring risks and its strategy for treating risks. The policy should also include roles and responsibilities, monitoring, reporting and review procedures,

ISSUE 58 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

Whilst risk management assessment at board level will focus on the highest priority risks, which will have the greatest impact on the trust, there is also a need for school leaders to assess operational risks.

Once risks have been identified, it is important to measure them with consistency. This can be done very simply in terms of how likely the risk is to occur (likelihood) and how severe its consequences (impact).

There are various ways to assess likelihood and impact, but, in an education context, a rational approach could be to simply assess

4

THE EDUCATION SPACE - NEWSLETTER - NEWS

each on a High / Medium / Low (H/M/L) scale. The evaluation of each risk could be calculated as a combination of likelihood and impact e.g. H/H, H/M, L/H etc. Ranking the risk would then be achieved by plotting the combined scores of likelihood and impact onto a risk matrix. A traffic light system (RedGreen-Amber) can help monitor such a matrix at a glance.

It is for the board to decide a system that can be easily understood.

Once risks have been assessed, evaluated and ranked, schools will need to ensure there are appropriate plans to manage them.

These plans include preventative controls, mitigation processes and contingency plans, if risks materialise. The approach taken will depend significantly on risk appetite and risk capacity.

Monitoring risk should be ongoing and continuous as this supports the organisation’s understanding of whether and how the risk profile is changing. Monitoring also provides assurance on the extent to which the mitigating actions and controls are

operating as intended and whether risks are being managed to an acceptable level.

A risk register is central to risk monitoring. As risks are identified, they should be logged on the register and the associated control measures documented. A risk register should be a ‘live document’ and should be an on-going process. How, and how often, this is to be reviewed is entirely up to the board. Too often, and it may become a box-ticking exercise with lesser meaning.

This term, Governor Services at The Education Space has included Risk as an agenda item at all maintained school governing board meetings.

It is not a statutory requirement, but it is an opportunity for boards to consider the importance of risk management, and the risks of not undertaking it.

Governor Services has developed a Risk Register template to support schools and academies. Schools should contact their Governing Board Support Officer (GBSO) for more details.

Self-evaluation: an Essential Tool for Self-improvement Sarah Beaumont, Head of Governance The Education Space

What were your new year’s resolutions, and are you keeping to them?

self-evaluation on their own governance effectiveness.

The start of a new calendar year is a time that many people use to make a change, but this can only come from some form of self-reflection. Shed pounds, get fit, declutter; these are all common resolutions borne from the identification of areas for perceived improvement or ‘opportunities for growth’.

A requirement or not, it is good practice for Governing Boards to conduct an annual self-evaluation of their own effectiveness, which can then be used to drive improvement in the quality and impact of governance. This applies to all organisations: maintained schools and academies alike.

At the recent Newham Governors’ Forum, I gave a presentation about the importance of self-evaluation. This was not entirely out of the blue. The London Borough of Newham has just introduced a requirement on all maintained schools to complete a

ISSUE 58 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

The Governance Handbook for Academy Trusts and Maintained Schools (October 2020) says:

“Boards should regularly evaluate their own effectiveness.”

6

THE EDUCATION SPACE - NEWSLETTER - NEWS

The introduction of this requirement in Newham will mean that Governing Boards can gain a base-line of their own effectiveness, which can be monitored and updated year-on-year.

Governing Boards of maintained schools are being required to answer a series of questions to help them to measure their board’s effectiveness. These questions are themed to relate directly to the Competency Framework for Governance, published by the DfE.

This will give opportunity for healthy debate and can feed into an action plan to address areas identified as needing improvement.

The benefits of undertaking a self-evaluation audit are manifold. If audits are received by the deadline, Boards have been offered feedback. Submitting an audit to the local authority gives opportunity to raise issues.

From the perspective of the local authority, the audit will provide a cross-borough picture of governance effectiveness and allow themes to emerge, to help to identify areas in which governing boards may require support and training.

The answers should be supported by evidence. For example, under the section entitled ‘Accountability’, Boards are asked to evaluate how they know how good the teaching in the school is, how it impacts on and improves pupil outcomes, and what is being done to improve it where it is not good.

Here, Governors should describe how they know. Do they ask questions at meetings, undertake visits and ‘learning walks’? How do they learn and understand data, how do they challenge outcomes, how do they know that performance management of staff is done?

But the benefits to the Board itself are just as significant. If a board builds selfevaluation into its annual cycle, it forms a solid framework for improvement, which can shape an action plan. Boards will have a key evidence document to show the Local Authority and OfSTED, and the privilege of having rehearsed answers to questions they may subsequently be asked in an inspection.

For the self-evaluation to be truly effective, it should be undertaken as a collective exercise by the whole Governing Board or a sub-group of Governors appointed to the task, rather than being undertaken solely by the Chair of Governors or Headteacher.

Lessons learned from the self-evaluation audit will be shared at the Newham Governors’ and Trustees’ Annual Conference – ‘Governor Effectiveness and Inclusive and Nurturing Schools’ - on Saturday 19 March 2022.

Rigorous monitoring and self-evaluation against a plan will mean that, for schools, this will be one annual resolution they will be sure to keep.

ANNUAL GOVERNORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ CONFERENCE: GOVERNOR EFFECTIVENESS Saturday 19 March 2022 at 9:15am – 2pm Newham has a long history of investment in inclusion and inclusive schools. Given the great educational outcomes achieved by so many of our children and young people, and our high performing education system with currently 93% of all educational settings judged good or outstanding by Ofsted, we should be justly proud.

The challenges around inclusion, however, still remain significant, taking into account the high number of fixed term exclusions (suspensions) given to so many pupils, coupled with the need for a greater and broader range of behavioural, therapeutic, and relational approaches to supporting pupils who present with challenging behaviours.

This conference offers opportunity to come together to consider how the RSA’s ‘Inclusive and Nurturing Schools Toolkit’ can practically support any school to adopt more inclusive and nurturing approaches.

Our keynote speakers are Mehak Tejani, Senior Researcher at the RSA, and our very own Joan Deslandes, Headteacher at Kingsford Community School, who provided a keynote at the Toolkit’s national launch event in December, profiling Newham and her school as highly inclusive communities where any child or young person can truly thrive.

The role played by Governors and Trustees will provide the context to the conference, with reference to the recently undertaken self-evaluation audit of governance effectiveness.

This conference will provide information and opportunity for schools, led by local and national educationalists, through speeches, presentations and workshops.

Dear AUA, I will be going on maternity leave soon and was wondering what the procedure is.

Hi Hannah, First you will need to inform your Head Teacher.

Around about after 20 weeks of your pregnancy your doctor or midwife will issue you with a MAT B1 certificate which is a Maternity Certificate form from the government providing medical evidence of pregnancy and the baby’s due date.

Once you receive this, you will need to take it to the school and also ask for a maternity application form which you need to complete and hand both the MAT B1 and maternity application form to the School Business Manager. This will then be entered on the reporting pack and uploaded to payroll to be actioned. You will then receive a letter outlining your maternity entitlements and other information with regards to returning to work from maternity.

Dear AUA, Our school would like to audio record some of our lessons. Are we allowed to do this?

Dear Malika, If the recordings do not include names and the individuals are not personally identifiable, then because the individuals will be anonymous, the recordings fall outside of the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA2018). Where individuals are identifiable, the school will need to be transparent about the recordings and ensure that students and parents are aware of the recordings and the privacy notice should be updated accordingly. If the recordings are being used for educational purposes only, the lawful basis is likely to be Public Interest.

Dear AUA, a Nursery child is showing on the register as X codes all day when they should be attending the school for just the morning session. How can I amend the system to allow codes to be added in to the system for the morning session?

Dear Abdul, it sounds as if your Part Time flags have been set to the whole day for the pupil. To resolve this you will need to set Attendance to be required all day and then set the Part Time flag. To Do this, go to Tools | Setups | Attendance Setup | Part Time Pupils.

Locate the student and set the date range you wish to adjust to all day and then the part time status.
