Who it is for

For the people who answer for it

The governing body or trust board is responsible for Standard Tier compliance. This checklist gives them one place to record what has been done.

  • Headteachers and trust leaders
  • School business managers who keep the compliance record
  • Governors and trustees signing off the review

This checklist is a record-keeping aid, not legal advice. Check your obligations against the official guidance for the Act.
