Multi Academy Trust Risk Management

Managing risk across multiple schools creates unique challenges. Each school has its own risk landscape, but the trust board needs consolidated oversight. Spreadsheets can't bridge this gapβ€”you end up with either siloed school registers or a central register that loses local detail.

EduRisk is MAT risk register software that solves this with a federated approach: each school maintains its own risks with local ownership, while the trust gets instant roll-up visibility for strategic oversight and board reporting.

  • βœ“ School-level registers β€” each school logs and manages their own risks
  • βœ“ Trust-wide dashboard β€” see all risks across all schools instantly
  • βœ“ Roll-up reporting β€” consolidated board packs with trust-level summaries
  • βœ“ Role-based access β€” headteachers see their school; executives see everything
  • βœ“ Common risk identification β€” spot patterns affecting multiple schools

Trust-Wide Risk Roll-Up

When your Audit & Risk committee meets, they need the big pictureβ€”not twenty separate school spreadsheets. EduRisk consolidates school-level risks into trust-wide views:

  • βœ“ Risk by category β€” see all safeguarding, finance, or estates risks across the trust
  • βœ“ Risk by school β€” compare risk profiles across your schools
  • βœ“ High-risk focus β€” surface the items that need board attention
  • βœ“ Trend analysis β€” track how the trust's risk profile evolves over time
  • βœ“ Common risks β€” identify issues affecting multiple schools (cyber, staffing, buildings)

Generate board-ready reports that give trustees meaningful oversight without overwhelming detail.

Academy Trust Handbook Compliance

EduRisk helps MATs meet DfE governance requirements

The Academy Trust Handbook requires trusts to manage risks and maintain a risk register that is kept under review. For multi-academy trusts, this means:

  • βœ“ A register covering the trust's full operationsβ€”not only financial risks
  • βœ“ Regular board review (at least annually, but more frequent review expected)
  • βœ“ Clear audit trail demonstrating due diligence
  • βœ“ Risk-based approach to internal scrutiny

EduRisk is designed around these requirements. Learn more about ATH compliance β†’
