Risk Management In Schools by Dr Philip SA Cummins

How is risk managed in your school? Is it dealt with internally, by an external agent, or not at all? This book is an introduction to the necessary maintenance and management of risk in schools. The concept of risk in schools is not a fad: the 'risk movement' is important and is not going away. Schools must be thinking about developing strategic processes that foster an understanding of risk management as being the natural outcome of a professional school culture. There are many approaches to risk management. This book advocates a whole school approach, let by the School Board and Principal, wit structured processes and a clearly defined framework. It champions a view of risk whereby regular review is inherent within the school operations and culture.
