and our approach to addressing||| ||||||them is set out below:||| ||||||(i)
Compliance
Issues||| ||||||As wiih any comparable
organisation|we|| ||||||have certain requirements
in terms of|putting|| ||||||policies and procedures
in place. The|most|| ||||||important
ofthese are in respect of:||| ||||||~
Safeguarding||| ||||||~
Data protection||| ||||||~
Equal opportunities||| ||||||These policies are reviewed
on a regular||| ||||||basis and update training
is delivered|to|staff| ||||||at regular intervals.||| ||||||We also have a series of policies
in place||| ||||||relating to employment
matters.||| ||||||(ii)
Communication
Issues||| ||||||Given that we have
in excess of450||| ||||||students,
who are taught via 24 classes,||it is| ||||||imperative
that we communicate
clearly||with| ||||||parents. This is done primarily
using the||| ||||||Parentmail
communication
tool and via our||| ||||||school website and facebook page.||| ||||||(iii)
Financial Issues||| ||||||In terms offinances, we have put in place a||| ||||||reserves
policy and have reserved funds||to| ||||||cover unexpected
expenses or shortfalls||in| ||||||income.||| ||||||Parents
pay a monthly fee to the school||and| ||||||this is collected via the School Money||| ||||||payment
platform
which allows us to||| ||||||manage
this aspect of our finances more||| ||||||effectively.||| ||||||(iv)
Legal Issues||| ||||||In terms ofemployment
considerations,||each| ||||||role has a detailed job description
and||| ||||||employees
benefit from a contract of||| ||||||employment
thai provides the usual||| ||||||protections.
With the exception ofour|supply|| ||||||teachers, we do not use zero hours||| ||||||contracts.||| ||||||We also have an annual
contract for hire||in| ||||||lace with the school on whose
remises||we| |operate.|||| |---|---|---|---| |(v)
