Governance Compliance
The Handsam Governance module provides all the information you need to prove compliance to government standards. This system is backed up by comprehensive resources provided in a diarised tasklist. Each task is delegated to the relevant staff member or governor to complete and evidence. This allows the creation of an audit trail which will satisfy Ofsted, ISI and DfE requirements.
The system also prompts Governors to ask the school a series of questions on topics such as governance structures, employment, health and safety, finance, data protection and equal opportunities. Further topics covered are managing redundancy, capability, admissions and exclusions procedures.
The content of the Handsam system is managed and updated by Handsam’s editorial panel of leading UK educationalists. This includes experts in law, finance and governance, and specialists in policy writing, health and safety, employment and managing contractors.
