This is a reminder that there is a budding HE Risk network which, as part of the PHES family, BUFDG is helping to get off the ground. Risk is an interesting area in that it cuts across many (if not all) of the different university professional services, and risk is managed in different ways in different institutions.
The Risk Network is formally part of HESPA (the Higher Education Strategic Planners Association), with a web page on the HESPA website which links to useful resources, and a brand spanking new discussion board. It means that, if you’d like to be part of the Risk group and access the boards then you’ll need access to the HESPA website. Fortunately most BUFDG institutions are members of HESPA, so all you need to do is drop membership@phes.ac.uk an email, and we can quickly tweak your account so you can also log in to the HESPA site using your normal BUFDG/PHES email address and password.
There’s a Risk Management survey on the go at the moment, which only takes 3 minutes to complete. This will help the group understand the range and remit of members’ expertise and work, and help shape the future work of the group. Please help out if you can.
