Frequently Asked Questions

Why keep this school risk register in InspectWrk instead of a spreadsheet?

Because every risk has a single owner, a status, and a timestamp, so nothing is lost in email or a file on one person's desktop. It stays current, exports as an audit-ready education record, and rolls into trend reports so recurring issues surface early, with the detail teams need for DfE, OSHA and local fire codes.

What should each risk include?

Work through egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment. Give every risk a clear description, an owner, and a due or review date, record its current status, and attach any supporting records so the school risk register is complete and defensible.

Who keeps the school risk register up to date?

Facilities coordinators, principals, safety officers own it day to day. Each risk stays with a named owner until it is closed or reviewed, and InspectWrk timestamps every change, so the school risk register reflects the current position rather than a snapshot from months ago.

What does the school risk register cover?

The school risk register covers egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment. For each risk, facilities coordinators record the detail, assign an owner and a due or review date, and attach any supporting records. Kept in InspectWrk, it is timestamped, stays current, and exports as a single audit-ready education record aligned to DfE, OSHA and local fire codes.

What is a school risk register?

Quick Answer

A school risk register is a single, living record of the risks that matter so education teams can log each risk, score its likelihood and impact, assign an owner and mitigation, and track it through to residual risk and closure. Completed in InspectWrk, it is timestamped, works offline, and exports as an audit-ready education report for DfE, OSHA and local fire codes.

A school risk register is a single, living record of the risks that matter that education teams use to work through egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment, keeping the register current and audit-ready. It replaces a scattered spreadsheet and email trail with one shared school risk register, so every entry has an owner and stays current. Run digitally in InspectWrk, every entry is timestamped, attributed to its owner, and exportable as an audit-ready education record with the detail teams need for DfE, OSHA and local fire codes.

Why are school risk register inspections still chased on WhatsApp?

Facilities coordinators and principals still miss blocked egress, damaged play equipment and expired first-aid stock when rounds are ticked without egress photo, equipment tag and stock checklist.

Without a single inspection record, teams reconstruct the evidence from phones instead of proving DfE, OSHA and local fire codes readiness.

Before and After InspectWrk

Before InspectWrk

  • education inspections for school risk register happen on paper or in WhatsApp threads, with no timestamp and no photo evidence.
  • School walkthrough findings live in the principal's notebook instead of a tracked punch list.
  • You find out about a school risk register issue from a client complaint or an auditor, not from your own team in real time.

After InspectWrk

  • Facilities coordinators complete the inspection in the app with photo evidence at the school risk register, even offline.
  • Managers see open findings, closure status, and DfE, OSHA and local fire codes evidence live on one dashboard.
  • Overdue corrective actions escalate automatically so the fix happens before the next education audit.

Why is a school risk register important?

It helps facilities coordinators and supervisors keep education work consistent, safe, and auditable, with the evidence needed for DfE, OSHA and local fire codes:

  • Cover the full inspection:structured checks across egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment surface blocked egress, damaged play equipment and expired first-aid stock before they reach handover, audit, or the next shift.
  • Document education findings with the right proof:capture egress photo, equipment tag and stock checklist on every issue so nothing rests on memory.
  • Stop repeat education findings:assign the fix, set a deadline, and escalate overdue actions before the next round comes around.
  • Stay audit-ready:keep one timestamped record for DfE, OSHA and local fire codes you can export instead of rebuilding it from scattered photos and spreadsheets.

What should be included in a school risk register?

A complete school risk register works through egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment, then records inspection context, scored checkpoints, and evidence with corrective actions:

Inspection context

Record where and when the inspection runs:

  • Site, education location, and asset identification
  • Inspector, date, and the education areas or assets in scope
  • Reference numbers or schedules linked to the checklist

Checkpoints and scoring

Define what each checkpoint verifies and how results are scored:

  • Egress Routes
  • Playground Hazards
  • Classroom Housekeeping
  • Emergency Equipment
  • 20 fields aligned to the checklist

Evidence and corrective actions

Make every finding traceable and actionable:

  • Capture egress photo, equipment tag and stock checklist on failed or critical items
  • Corrective actions with owners and due dates for education teams
  • Sign-off, completion status, and follow-up notes

How do teams use a school risk register?

Follow these steps to run the school risk register:

  1. Fill in the school risk register header: inspector, site, date, and areas in scope.
  2. Work through egress routes, playground hazards, classroom housekeeping, and emergency equipment in order, recording pass, fail, or N/A.
  3. Attach egress photo, equipment tag and stock checklist wherever a failure or observation needs proof.
  4. Raise actions for blocked egress, damaged play equipment and expired first-aid stock with owners and deadlines before sign-off.
  5. Review the school risk register summary, share the report, and keep the record for your audit trail.
