Fire risk assessment in schools differs significantly from offices, retail, or housing. Yet many trusts assume their arrangements are robust, until expansion exposes inconsistency. Rapid growth, varied building types, and unclear accountability can quietly increase risk across a portfolio.

This session challenges assumptions about fire safety, assessor competency, and trust-wide governance. What should trustees and CEOs seek for real assurance? How can you be confident your FRA is fit for purpose, especially when acquiring a new school?

Drawing on extensive education-sector experience, this session will help you spot variability, strengthen oversight, and treat fire safety as a strategic leadership responsibility, not just compliance.
