IF YOU OPERATE A SCHOOL, ACADEMY, UNIVERSITY OR EDUCATIONAL SERVICE, HOW DO YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE COMPLYING WITH STATUTE LAWS?

Education Compliance Marque is awarded to institutions that strive to provide the highest possible quality of education from within a safe and organised environment, which is grounded in strong values and complying with the law.

The Education Marque is a compliance benchmark award for boards, trustees and academy business managers to demonstrate Statutory Compliance for Health & Safety, Environmental, Quality and Security. All for a fraction of the cost of achieving an ISO standard.

We work with educators across the UK to reward and promote those whose premises and operations reach the level of regulatory compliance required to protect their students, staff and the local community.

Following assessment, you can receive one of three awards, depending on the level of compliance demonstrated. To achieve the higher levels of award, 0% tolerance of risk and an inclusive culture are strong factors.

Lack of resources, staff and time are big challenges for the education sector. As such, obtaining Education Compliance Marque is designed to be a straightforward and productive process. Our goal is to reward and celebrate leaders in the education sector.
