The DfE's strong focus on ensuring that schools and trusts operate effectively, comply with statutory requirements, and demonstrate robust governance frameworks, means that schools and trusts are likely to continue to be scrutinised by the regulator on these areas.

At VWV, we offer tailored legal support to help leaders feel confident in their governance, remain compliant, and plan effectively for the future.

We offer essential governance health checks to ensure that schools and trusts are operating effectively and remain compliant. These include:

- Full reviews of governance structures
- Website audits to ensure statutory compliance
- Trading company compliance checks, complete with actionable recommendations.

Our team provides expert guidance on strategic matters, including significant changes, amalgamations, mergers and conversions, bespoke governance documentation, sponsor arrangements and updates to Articles of Association and funding agreements.

For schools facing regulatory challenges, we offer support with DfE and Charity Commission investigations.

**Why Choose VWV?**

We understand the unique challenges schools and trusts face and are committed to helping them stay compliant, mitigate risks, and strengthen their governance framework. Our team provides clear and practical advice to help schools navigate complexities, manage change, and lead with confidence.
