Taking sensible, calculated risks is essential for St Mary’s to achieve its strategic aims and academic mission. The University has a responsible approach to risk management, seeking to recognise and manage exposure to risks, while accepting a degree of risk in line with potential reward.
St Mary's has a formalised risk management framework which is based on sector best practice. The Risk Management Policy and Procedure provides the detail of the risk management framework for the University:
