Tim recently joined international education leader and consultant, Shane Leaning, to discuss investigation and risk management in the education sector. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Investigation and risk management processes in the education sector are being scrutinised like never before. Schools in western countries are reporting an increase in behavioural issues within their student bodies. Allegations of historic sexual abuse in boarding schools are being mishandled. Issues of bullying and sexual harassment within staff teams are swept under the carpet. These situations create significant risks that schools need to manage well if they’re to maintain the trust of their students, parents, and boards.
So, what investigative capabilities do schools have at their disposal? What does a good investigation look like? And where can a school go for help?
