St Mary’s Myrtleford Primary School

Primary School uses Policy Management and Assurance to coordinate and streamline its compliance requirements.

Challenge

St Mary’s is a co-ed primary school in Myrtleford, Victoria. The school has 175 students and 25 staff. St Mary’s had systems in place for managing policies, incidents, hazards and staff training, however each element utilised a different program or application and relied on the Principal to coordinate and maintain all of these separate processes.

Why Ideagen CompliSpace?

St Mary’s is a Catholic Education Sandhurst school. CES engaged Ideagen CompliSpace to help bring consistency and transparency to the way its schools manage risk, compliance and policies.

Solution

Ideagen CompliSpace worked with St Mary’s to implement Ideagen CompliSpace Education, which included the Policy Management System for policy content and Assurance for hazard and risk management, task management and more.

St Mary’s are also implementing the Learning Management System to manage and track compliance training, staff induction and professional development, and will be developing its own modules to coordinate the roll out of new policies, procedures and training to all staff members.

Result

Ideagen CompliSpace has assisted St Mary’s to create a platform that is the source of all information for staff. It provides staff with a portal to all of the available Policy Management documents, as well as connecting them to other systems that the school uses, such as roll marking, calendars and important links. Their staff policy portal has created a seamless user experience for the St Mary’s staff, that is always current and regularly updated with the latest policy information.

Testimonials

"The Policy Management System and Assurance provides our school with an integrated approach to managing our compliance requirements. It also relieves the burden on our school leaders by providing updated policy content, templates for individualisation by our school and allows the scheduling and reminders of risk reviews, hazards, tasks and injury notifications.

By also allowing schools to assimilate any current systems, schools can utilise it to provide the best of both worlds. Schools can maintain the elements that are working well for them and include those from Ideagen CompliSpace that meet their needs and schools’ legal requirements.”

"St Mary’s Primary School is a ‘School Champion’ within the Diocese, using the Ideagen CompliSpace systems to connect staff to policies, and other school systems, creating a ‘one stop shop’ for all staff resources. The school actively uses the Policy Management System. They’ve adopted and are managing robust hazard and risk registers in Assurance, and are now gearing up to manage staff PD via the Learning Management System."
