Created to be an invaluable resource for school leaders in Australian Non-Government Schools, this carefully-researched white paper focuses on 12 issues and risks that are likely to impact a school’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives in 2019.

This paper includes resources to help school leaders and boards manage those risks.

For each risk, the authors:

  • Explain the risk and its impact on a school’s leadership and objectives
  • Suggest key steps to consider in managing the particular risk
  • Provide a list of carefully-worded strategic risks to consider in addressing each issue/risk, that could form the basis of a school’s strategic risk register.
  • The white paper deliberately steers school leadership and boards to think strategically and consider the strategic risks associated with the issues that are raised.

About the Authors

This white paper was written by members of the Education Consulting team and the Editorial team at CompliSpace. CompliSpace conducted a thorough review of published risk reports from across the country as well as a detailed review of the most-reported risks in the education sector in the period July 2018 to February 2019. Every day, CompliSpace monitors the progress of over 9,000 pieces of legislation. We also engage directly with school boards to gather anecdotal evidence first hand. Based on this research and our review of media articles, industry reports and our partnership with over 600 schools around Australia, CompliSpace have compiled this list of 12 Key Risk Areas that we believe Non-Government School Boards should consider in 2019.
