Dear Colleagues
We are delighted to commend this dedicated area of the website
to Property and Asset Management matters, whose aim is to help all
those involved in providing, maintaining, operating and developing
buildings. Within these vital responsibilities are serious
issues and challenges so we do urge you to make full use of this
website guide and the advice of the Property and Asset Management
team.
Through delegation of minor Capital building and other funding
opportunities, schools in particular, have a much greater stake in
the management of their premises. Recent changes mean that
you have a statutory duty to perform certain tasks. Above
all, you need to ensure that you have made adequate arrangements to
meet these and other legal responsibilities.
Apart from establishing our respective roles, the web pages
provide information, guidance and support to help you reach
decisions about needs, how to address those needs and priorities
for future investment.
We shall continue to review and add to the content through
consultation, and also update the website as and when the need
arises to ensure it remains up to date.
Lyndon Watkins
Head of Property
and Asset Management
