Risk Register Software for Schools & Academy Trusts

Why Schools Need Dedicated Risk Register Software

Spreadsheet-based risk registers create problems that compound over time: version control issues, stale data, no audit trail, and hours spent preparing board packs. For schools managing safeguarding, estates, finance, and operational risks, these gaps create real compliance exposure.

EduRisk is school risk register software built specifically for the UK education sector. It replaces scattered spreadsheets with one secure, central register that meets Academy Trust Handbook requirements.

✓ Central risk register — all risks in one place, categorised by type (safeguarding, finance, estates, HR, IT, governance)
✓ Clear ownership — every risk has an accountable owner with review dates
✓ Automated reminders — never miss a review deadline
✓ Full audit trail — demonstrate due diligence to auditors and Ofsted
✓ Board-ready reports — generate polished summaries in seconds, not hours
