Section 175 Safeguarding Audit – January 2026
This year’s S175 link is now open. Schools are asked to ensure they have returned their completed Section 175 to DCC no later than 13th Feb...
Th NGA believe that school and trust governance is facing a moment of real challenge. They say:
“Every day, thousands of you give your time and energy to help schools navigate real-world pressures – tight budgets, recruitment challenges, pupil wellbeing and long-term planning. It’s complex work, and it matters.”
To establish what’s really happening in governance in 2025 the NGA are asking everyone involved in governance to complete their annual survey.
NGA’s annual governance survey is open and it’s a chance to have your say whether you’re in a small maintained school or a large trust. This isn’t just about NGA members – it’s about the entire governance community. This survey should take an average of 15 minutes to complete and the deadline is 2 June 5pm.
