Universities across the UK are facing an estimated £1.4 billion in funding cuts, and 60% of institutions have already scaled back repairs and maintenance to cope, with 89% expecting to do the same over the next three years.

When budgets are under pressure, universities need a defensible way to decide what maintenance matters most. That starts with risk, asset data and statutory obligations, then turning this into a practical, costed maintenance plan.

Join SFG20 for a webinar on how estates and FM teams can protect safety and compliance while budgets shrink, without resorting to blanket cuts or guesswork.

What you'll learn

• How to establish your organisation's risk appetite and tolerance, so high-risk tasks are addressed before time and budget go on lower-priority work
• Why your asset register is the foundation for every maintenance decision, and how to close the data gaps that put compliance at risk
• How to separate statutory obligations from optimal and discretionary maintenance
• Why a recognised maintenance standard supports audit readiness, clearer governance of outsourced maintenance and more informed budget decisions
• Live Q&A – bring your own funding and compliance challenges for the panel

• Estates Directors and Facilities Managers responsible for maintenance budgets and compliance across university buildings
• Compliance Managers and Health & Safety leads accountable for statutory obligations
• FM Contractors and Service Providers delivering maintenance to the higher education sector
