Most schools don't lose control of policy governance overnight.

It happens in small increments: a policy that's never formally attested to, a regulatory change that quietly slips past, a document that's different at every campus. The cost only becomes visible when a registration authority asks for evidence you can't produce quickly.

This checklist helps schools score their own policy governance across the areas most likely to hide risk, so you can find the gaps before an auditor does.

Check your school against 25 self-assessment statements covering:

• Administrative and process controls

• Attestation and evidence

• Registration and audit readiness

• Regulatory monitoring

• Child safety and reputational assurance

Simply tick the statements that already apply to your school, add up your score and see where you land, from high exposure through to strong control.
