Asset management
Good asset management is key to ensuring that capital funding and existing assets are used as efficiently and effectively as possible in raising educational standards.
Provisional Guidance on Asset Management Plans (AMPs) was published by the
DfES in August 1998. This was reviewed in the light of subsequent consultations
with Local Authorities (LA) and other interested parties. The review
identified the need for a number of revisions, which have been incorporated in
guidance notes. This is the first section in a series and deals with the
framework of AMPs. The other
sections, which cover some of the more technical processes of these Plans,
are:
Section 1: Framework.
Section 2: Property Information Systems and Schools Premises Data.
Section 3: Condition Assessment May 2002 and January 2005 amendments to
the guidance, plus questions and answers.
Section 3a: Getting into Condition — A Good Practice Guide for Local
Authority Asset Management Plan Condition Assessments, with example
documents.
Section 4: Suitability Assessment. November 2002 and January.2005
