Education Estates Assurance
Compliance, governance, and operational confidence for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts
We take operational risk, compliance burden and estates complexity off your plate; guaranteeing continuity, compliance and standards.
FIG Facilities Management is an education-led estates and compliance assurance partner. We support schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) that need confidence their estates are compliant, risks are controlled, and leadership exposure is reduced.
The Challenge Facing Education Estates
Education estates operate in increasingly complex and regulated environments. Estates teams and senior leaders are under pressure from:
- Expanding statutory compliance and safeguarding obligations
- Fragmented suppliers with no single point of accountability
- Ageing buildings and growing asset risk
- Limited internal estates capacity
- Increased scrutiny from trustees, auditors, and inspectors
The result is often hidden risk, reactive spend, and governance exposure.
Our Assurance-Led Approach
FIGFM does not operate as a traditional facilities contractor.
We do not sell ad-hoc services or labour. Instead, we provide a single, accountable assurance framework designed specifically for regulated education environments.
Our role is to give estates teams, senior leaders, and trustees confidence that:
- Compliance obligations are understood and controlled
- Risks are identified early and managed appropriately
- Operations are resilient and consistent
- Reporting is clear, accurate, and audit-ready
How the Programme Works
One assurance framework
One accountable partner
Clear governance and reporting
FIGFM coordinates delivery through trained supervisors and vetted specialist partners, while retaining full accountability for compliance, quality, and continuity.
This removes the inefficiency and risk of managing multiple disconnected suppliers.
Designed for Schools and MAT Portfolios
Education is our flagship sector.
The programme is deliberately designed for:
- Single schools seeking greater compliance confidence
- Multi-site academies
- MATs requiring portfolio-level oversight
By aggregating sites under a single framework, EEAP supports consistency, resilience, and efficient governance across estates portfolios
