The Risk Management Strategy
Risk Ranking: a diagnostic tool that assesses all areas and levels of insurable risk in every school.
Weighted/Discounted Premiums: a pricing mechanism to change and influence positive behaviours in schools.
The Risk Management Toolkit: a new national website to provide schools with practical guidance, tools and templates to address the areas of risk identified in the Risk Ranking
The School Risk Ranking Process

Each school visited by trained assessor
Assess effectiveness of fire, security and H&S measures at each school
The School Risk Ranking Process

Database created for all schools
Identifies schools that are most vulnerable and at risk helps to target funding helps to recharge premiums fairly
Consistent assessment of each school
Development of the database

assessments Facilitate risk rankings Produce standard reports for schools Provide some generic guidance
Your interactive tool – not for national collection Piloted in several authorities and soon to be
available to you

Benefits of Implementation
Schools will have expertise to identify their risks and will be provided with tools and advice to help them respond to identified risk areas.
Local authorities will have greater visibility of where to target effort and resources to those schools that will be the biggest drivers of claims.
Benefits of Implementation
Weighted/discounted premiums and the Toolkit will help local authorities to persuade schools to put in place risk management solutions.
The package fits well within the wider Efficiency Review procurement and productive time agendas.
Demonstrating effective risk management
Not implementing means costs will continue to rise
Jim Knight MPMinister of State for Schools
“The cost of insurance claims and incidents in schools goes well beyond the financial cost, often causing significant disruption and loss of resources, and impacting on the welfare and morale of pupils, staff and the surrounding community.
I am therefore very pleased to support the package of measures that is being launched today. It is essential that we tackle the root causes - this package is an important step in providing local authorities and schools with the necessary tools.
Implementing this integrated approach to risk management will address the root causes of claims by improving the visibility and management of risk and providing a sustainable way to track and improve performance and hence reduce costs.”
Jim Knight
