Risk Management in further education

OVERVIEW

 
 

What it is and how to manage it effectively

Risk management encompasses the identification, analysis and response to risk factors that form part of the life of an education provider in a competitive FE landscape. It can be a useful part of more effectively  managing the whole organisation, or specific teams or projects within an education provider.

Effective risk management means attempting to control, as much as possible, future outcomes by acting proactively rather than reactively. Therefore, effective risk management offers the potential to reduce both the possibility of risk occurring and its potential impact, improving outcomes for you, your team or the provider as a whole.

This makes it a valuable core skill area for anyone working in project or team management, management or leadership roles in any type of education provider.
