Make Consulting, in consultation with their academy school client base, have designed a comprehensive compliance survey audit, that covers 55 separate items.

An RAG report is produced that equips the school with an internal audit and an external review of where the trust is and is not, meeting statutory and insurance requirements. Actions are assigned to one of Site Manager, School Business Manager or Finance Director. The report is designed to be readily comprehensible to the responsible governor.

Make can assist with any shortfalls by conducting any of the services in-house or through their extensive specialist supply chain.

Whether your school has only recently converted and you require advice and assistance in identifying and prioritising the mitigation and management of the risks or, your trust is expanding and you wish to begin the process of centralising your compliance system to ensure consistency and best value from service providers, our model meets all needs.

The scope of the audit covers both statutory and insurance requirements and includes the following:

  • Asbestos Register and Management plan
  • Water Hygiene and Legionella Risk Assessments 
  • Fire Risk Assessments
  • Electrical Certificates
  • Energy Certificates 
  • Gas Safety Appliances and Distribution
  • Disabled Access Provisions

  • Compliance and safeguarding systems 
  • Health and Safety Policies and Plans 

Through to Best Practice which includes the following:
