Risk Management for Further and Higher Education is a one-day workshop offered by the Regional Support Centres of the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and delivered by JISC infoNet, the Centre of Expertise in the Planning and Implementation of Information Systems. JISC infoNet has developed a risk management framework tailored to the needs of the education sector which, whilst primarily aimed at projects, can be adapted for any institutional need.
Target Audience and Outcomes

The day is aimed at senior managers and any other staff who need to manage risk in Higher Education Institutions or Further Education Colleges.
