School risk register template: risks and hazards in one workbook
Risks and hazards in one workbook, linked.
School Risk Register Template, free for independent schools.
One register of the risks your school carries and one of the hazards that sit underneath them, in the same workbook and linked by a code. Each risk row holds the cause, the consequence, the rating before and after your existing controls, the treatment, an owner role and a review date. The How-to draws the bowtie for one worked risk, so causes, controls and consequences are a picture before they are a table.
Three files in one zip: Risk-Register.xlsx, the working document with a worked example beside your own; How-to-use-the-Risk-Register.pdf, four pages that take a leadership team through it in one sitting; and What-next-EthosOne-Risk-Management.pdf, four pages on what the same work looks like when it runs live in EthosOne.
Risks and hazards in one workbook, linked.
Free Risk Register for independent schools: Risk-Register.xlsx with a worked example, a four-page How-to and the What-next brochure for EthosOne Risk Management. Risks and hazards in one workbook, linked.
Your details stay in Australia. We email you the files, then occasional governance updates you can stop at any time.
What is in the pack
Risk-Register.xlsxWorked example: 10 organisational risks and 4 hazards that read as one school's, rated inherent and residual on a five-by-five matrix.
How-to-use-the-Risk-Register.pdfFour pages: what you have, what it takes and what you end with, then five steps that name the tab and the column each one touches.
What-next-EthosOne-Risk-Management.pdfFour pages on the same work running live in EthosOne Risk Management.
How schools use it
Adopt, edit or reject each of the ten rows
Rate inherent, record the controls, then rate residual
Add the hazards you know, and link them both ways
Set an owner role and a review date on every row
What it takes. One sitting of about ninety minutes, and half an hour before each committee meeting. What you end with. A register with an owner and a review date on every row, a heat map your committee can read, and a board summary ready to table.
The five we are asked every time.
Still weighing something up? Thirty minutes with us, on your own registers, answers the rest.
Get the free pack01Is the Risk Register free?
Yes. Tell us who you are and the link is emailed to you. No trial, no card, and the file is yours whether or not you ever talk to us.
02What format is it?
Risk-Register.xlsx opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and the two PDFs open anywhere. The worked example tab or appendix is finished and protected; your own is blank and editable.
03Do we need EthosOne to use it?
No. The pack works on its own, and the How-to is written for a school that runs it in a spreadsheet or a document. The What-next brochure and the six notes in the file say where the work strains and what the platform does at that point.
04Who is the worked example?
One invented Australian independent school, the same one across all eleven packs, with a consistent principal, business manager, chair and set of risks. Nothing in it is a real school.
05What happens after I download?
The thank-you page names the three files and the first thing worth doing today, and offers the Board-Ready Governance Review as the next step. One email, no sequence you did not ask for.
