Compliance Pod

Education Compliance Resource Library

The Education Compliance Resource Library brings together a comprehensive collection of schedules, guidance documents, and implementation tools designed to support schools, colleges, and multi-academy trusts in managing facilities compliance with confidence.

These resources are part of the Education Compliance Task Framework, developed by Compliance Pod to provide clarity, structure, and assurance across every area of statutory and best practice compliance.

Many core materials are freely available for download. To access the full Framework and detailed category guidance, simply request access using the contact forms provided.

Education Facilities Compliance Schedules

The Education Facilities Compliance Framework is organised into five structured schedules that together provide complete coverage of statutory, best practice, and preventative maintenance requirements across the education estate.

  • The Essential Schedule highlights the non-negotiable core tasks common to almost all schools and colleges.
  • The Master Schedule contains the full list of 700+ compliance tasks.
  • The Sub-Schedules group these tasks into logical themes: Core Statutory Safety, Building Systems & PPM, Facilities & Operations, Curriculum & Departmental, and Governance, Safeguarding & Assurance.

Together, these schedules provide a clear, auditable structure for managing facilities compliance—scalable from a single school to a multi-academy trust or large college group. Each schedule is provided for guidance purposes only and must be reviewed and adapted to reflect your organisation's specific estate, systems, and legal obligations.

Guidance Documents by Category

The Guidance Documents Library contains detailed reference materials for every category within the Education Compliance Framework.

Each document explains what the task involves, why it matters, who is responsible, how often it should be completed, and what evidence should be recorded.

Together, they form a practical knowledge base for facilities teams and compliance leads—helping your organisation understand and evidence its legal, best practice, and PPM obligations across all areas of the education estate.
