Enrolment and Operational Management: Safeguarding Institutional Viability

If your school’s enrolment and operational policies aren’t watertight, you’re leaving the door open to disputes, financial risks, and compliance failures. A misstep in enrolment decisions can lead to costly legal battles, while weak operational frameworks can undermine institutional stability. Strengthening policies and practices now helps protect against legal challenges, ensures compliance, and safeguards long-term viability. Don’t wait for a crisis - take action before small issues become major risks.
