The Governors are responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the organisation. Detailed consideration of the risk are delegated to the director of WSS. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity`s risk management process is undertaken on an annual basis. Risk is managed under the headings of the financial stability, school safety, student welfare, employment, trips and events and community access.

The main risks that the Governors have consider and plan to manage are:

• Reputation: The WSS`s success is built on its reputation for the education and well-being the children attending. WSS manage this risk through safeguarding policies, staff and volunteer policies, pastoral support for children, volunteers and staff and active identification and resolution of health and safety related issues.

• Money: Our ability to continue is reliant on the little donation from parents, commitment of the volunteers and fund that we hope to receive from the Authorities that supported WSS summer activities.

• Curriculum: Our tuition activities to achieve high standers require the most able teachers to deliver the academic curriculum compatible to the National Academic stander which required for the child to achieve at a certain year grope according to their age. In addition to the academic curriculum WSS is teaching Arabic language as a foreign language for those children; both who are from Arabic background who want to learn their mother tong to communicate sufficiently with wider family members or those who are from none Arabic background who want to learn Arabic or various reasons.

Through the risk management processes established for the organisation. The Governors are satisfied the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately been managed.

Governor Recruitment and Training

The Governing body requires breadth and depth of experience to carry out its duties effectively and efficiently. Despite all our Governors are volunteers, but they attribute a passion to the work of our organisation and maintain rounded experience of personal growth.
