Taster Session:  Boarding Management: Risk assessment and Managing Crises

This session is aimed at developing the student’s knowledge and expertise in how to manage risk in the boarding house (and school) and deal with the inevitable situations and incidents that can arise during the school year.

This session will be carried out through case studies, discussed in smaller breakout sessions giving participants an opportunity to share good practice and ideas with other boarding professionals, and also tutor led discussions in the main room, to highlight good practice and how real-life situations were handled dealt with in the school environment.

By the end of this session delegates should feel more capable of dealing with situations as they arise and making sure that their school policies, people and procedures are robust and fit for purpose.
