ECIS is proud to provide free for members emergency planning management software from Clearpath Alerts. This software provides schools with risk, security, and dynamic communication technology solutions.

ECIS offers professional advisory to clients in the international and independent education sector, providing advice and guidance in areas of school management and operations, strategy, governance and risk, safety and security, and start-up schools.

Brief, knowledge-rich courses on holding management accountable; the relationship between the board and the head of school; the board’s role in strategy-making; and current parent board members.

The Advanced Governing Webinars move the conversation about governance beyond basic training for new governors/trustees.  We focus on four areas that are critical to success, but and also have the potential to create significant problems when done poorly.  Each is a stand-alone webinar but we suggest that you view all four as a complete package.  The goal is to offer information which will lead to thoughtful conversations in your board room and inform good governance practice in a new way.

Establishing a successful safeguarding culture in a school results from professional learning that includes everyone who works in or for a school — from teaching staff through school leadership and governing stakeholders. This course meets accreditation and/or inspection requirements to demonstrate that the board of governors (trustees) and owners (if applicable) are cognisant of their role in protecting children.

How best might we state and live our values in this age of anxiety, in ways that result in healthy learning ecosystems? From learning spaces to school timetables to the availability of online courses to enhance our offerings, complemented by our careful and overt attention to well-being (and more!), what we value should end up defining our ecosystems. But does that always happen?
