Published on the Board’s website are cyclical review guidelines to provide assistance to governing bodies and schools participating in the review program. The review process has continued to incorporate the participation of an “external validator” to participate in the cyclical review process during the validation phase. The review process also is to incorporate the way in which the aggregated data about student outcome and performance is being used by the governing body and school to better understand the effectiveness of the educational program to inform improvement processes, thereby enhancing compliance with the accreditation criteria under the Accreditation Regulation. Regional visit program The Board and the Funding Committee have conducted a program of regional meetings and school visits since 2002. The regional visit program is designed primarily to facilitate familiarisation visits to as many non-State schools in a geographical location as possible. Small groups of members attend schools using the visit as an opportunity to gain an insight into the issues schools are currently addressing. The visits are therefore intended for familiarisation purposes only and are not part of the formal accreditation and assessment of Government funding eligibility work undertaken by these two bodies. The regular scheduled meetings of both the Board and the Funding Committee are incorporated into this regional program.

The Board endorsed Procedures to Deal with Public Interest Disclosures on 7 July 2011. The procedures are published on the Board’s website for inspection by anyone. Purchasing procedures (Assessors) The Board has in place Purchasing Procedures (Assessors). These Purchasing Procedures (Assessors) are in accordance with the State Procurement Policy, which applies to all Budget Sector Agencies, Government-Owned Corporations and Statutory Bodies. The intent of the State Procurement Policy is that agencies must use their procurement to advance Government priorities while achieving value for money with probity and accountability. In doing so, each agency should use its best endeavours to: • ensure that competitive local firms are given a fair, full and reasonable opportunity to supply the Queensland Government; and • deal with firms which treat their employees fairly. The objectives of the State Procurement Policy are to: • advance Government priorities; • achieve value for money; and • ensure probity and accountability for outcomes. The State Procurement Policy aims to ensure that the benefits of Government purchasing are maximised. The policy is not prescriptive and provides scope for individual agencies to conduct their procurement activities in a manner that enables the agency to link its procurement activities to Government priorities. The Purchasing Procedures (Assessors), in conjunction with sections 144 and 145 of the Accreditation Act, provide a framework for the Board to: • recruit suitably qualified and experienced persons as assessors; • assign assessments to particular assessors in an appropriate manner; and • provide fair remuneration for the work that gives an appropriate level of assurance to the Board about receiving value for money.

Risk management In 2003, the Board adopted a system of risk management, and until 30 June 2009 conducted annually an assessment of risks, under the now repealed Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977 and attendant Financial Management Standard 1997. The risk management provisions of the new Financial Accountability Act 2009 and Financial and Performance Management Standard 2009 commenced on 1 July 2009. Accordingly, the Board adopted a system of risk management compliant with the new legislation and conducted an assessment of risks to identify and classify the risks, and apply risk controls/treatments. On 7 June 2012, the Board completed its annual risk identification and classification, and application of risk controls/treatments. On the basis that the Board is a relatively small agency, and that the potential risks and consequential costs would be generally medium to low, the Board has not established a risk management committee at this time, and the functions normally associated with a committee are undertaken by the Board as a whole.

Appendix M Non-State schools operating at 30 June 2012 Explanatory Notes: 1. This appendix lists all operating non-State schools in Queensland at 30 June 2012, and gives the location of those schools, the type of education and year levels for which the school is provisionally accredited or accredited, and the name of the school’s governing body. 2. For type of education, the marker Prov indicates the school is provisionally accredited for that education type. 3. Even though a school is provisionally accredited or accredited for a particular type of education or year levels, the school may not be offering that education type or those year levels. This may be for a number of reasons, including: (i) being provisionally accredited but the relevant student-intake day has not yet happened; or (ii) being accredited but the school has made a decision not to offer part of or all of the education type for a short period of time. 4. The marker Multi-site indicates that the school operates from more than one site. Only sites that have commenced operation are included. The marker Classroom & Distance indicates that the school offers both classroom and distance education. The marker New school/site/type of education/year levels indicates a new school, site, type of education or year levels in 2011–12. 5. Highlighted fields indicate changes made in 2011–12. 6. Persons interested in the program offerings of particular schools should contact the schools directly.
