Risk management for schools

Lambeth is dedicated to improving risk management within our schools.

Over the last few years Lambeth schools have emerged as leaders in delivering excellence through their approach at managing risk. Much of this has arisen from the joint working with Lambeth Council's risk and insurance team with opportunities being granted through our risk initiative programme, our risk ranking surveys and our risk awareness programmes.

The risk management package for schools is an invest to save initiative which offers great value for money compared to any similar product offered in the commercial market. The tools included work together to help schools manage risks and in turn can help to reduce insurance premiums.

The benefits to schools of this scheme include:

• Identification of areas of strength and weakness regarding risk management arrangements
• Potential reductions in insurance premiums paid, as better management of risk creates more confidence for insurers
• Informed of risk related events for schools
• Assists in decision making as focus in made clear for areas requiring attention, leading to better allocation of resources
• Better preparation for worst case scenarios.
