Risk Management Consultancy, Support and Training

Decision makers and those responsible for governance are under greater pressure now than ever before.

We understand that each organisation is unique and therefore tailor our solutions in a manner that works for you. As a non-for-profit organisation, we are able to provide cost-effective solutions, supporting you with individual, proportionate, pragmatic and trusted advice.

Our team of qualified and experienced professionals work in partnership with you to establish robust risk management practices, enabling you to identify opportunities where taking risks might benefit your organisation / educational setting. Decision makers are constantly trying to manage conflicting and competing priorities and horizon scan for emerging changes that can disrupt the new normal. It is important, now more than ever, to have sufficient controls to recognise, anticipate and plan for mitigating risks and have robust governance arrangements to avoid reputational damage which can leave you exposed to legal and financial consequences.

As part of our services, we will help you develop a structured approach to managing risks to improve accountability, decision-making, transparency and innovation.

Services

We help local authorities, education and public bodies deliver on their compliance, audit, fraud and safety challenges through tailored, value-driven consultancy and training.

Risk Workshops

To support risk management, we offer a variety of workshops with a range of purposes to suit your needs. Our workshops cover topics from how to create a risk register, to how best to update collective risks. Our experts will facilitate discussions leading to the identification of new risks, the causes and consequences of these, and mitigating actions. Our team will ensure you have a comprehensive risk register that will identify risks, which are then ready to be prioritised by management.

Risk Management Software

Risk management is an ongoing activity. Risk registers are live documents that must be continually updated to reflect changing circumstances. As part of our service, we can provide you with tools and software to store and maintain your risk records. We will support risk and mitigation owners to set up automatic reminders to ensure risks are kept current and up to date.

Risk Management Policy Development and Setting Risk Appetite

To keep in line with best practice, our qualified risk professionals can assess existing risk management policies and suggest improvements to continually improve risk management within your establishment. We can support you in developing a new risk management policy, which will add value to how your organisation operates by defining shared understanding of risk appetite. In addition, we can develop customised procedures to help your governing body and officers have shared risk language and embed risk management into your business as usual practice.

We can provide training tailored to your organisation’s needs. Whether this is for those who are new to risk management or in need of a refresher, we adopt a comprehensive approach covering theory and practical application. We will ensure to include an explanation of the value of risk management for your organisation and the processes that facilitate it.
