Overview
Many boards worry about how to ensure they are ensuring compliance in their school or trust with all the relevant legislation. It can feel overwhelming, but is there a way to feel confidently on top of this responsibility? 

Compliance runs through all levels of Governance and is a key feature in the Governance Handbook, Competency Framework and Academies Financial Handbook.  It is important that Boards understand their duties and responsibilities and know how to assure themselves that that their school is compliant with the requirements and duties with which it must also comply. This webinar provides guidance for boards on how to approach this daunting task.

The following will be explored:

• How to understand the legal and charitable context of the school/academy you govern
• What are the key compliance duties and responsibilities of the Board?
• How to create a compliance checklist and calendar for the board
• Where to find the latest guidance
• What is the right level of board monitoring?

Who should attend?
All governors, trustees and school leaders.
