Academy trusts must have an investment policy in place to manage and track their financial exposure, and ensure value for money. This is set out in the Academy Trust Handbook (paragraph 2.22).
Our policy is:
- Designed for trusts to adapt to their context
- In line with relevant requirements and good practice
- Approved by Forbes Solicitors
