Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
What are minutes in education?
We understand that compliance is key in educational settings. All meeting minutes serve the same purpose, which is to document discussions, decisions and agreed actions. However, within schools, colleges and universities they often required a more detailed verbatim style. We’ll ensure your records meet any legal or regulatory obligations specific to your institution.
Can you provide in-person minute takers?
Yes. Many of our education clients prefer an in-person professional education minute taker, especially for governors’ meetings or longer sessions where confidentiality and context are essential. Attending onsite allows us to capture the full detail of discussions accurately. We can also provide flexible education minute taking services remotely via Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet if that suits your institution. However you choose to meet, Waymaker ensures your minutes are delivered with clarity, neutrality, and professionalism.
How does AI improve the minute-taking process?
Using AI tools for tasks such as transcription and summarising can enhance the efficiency of our service and allows our minute takers to focus on refining the minutes for clarity and compliance. By combining human oversight and AI efficiency, we deliver accurate and impartial and polished minutes to help teams make confident decisions.
What’s the difference between minute taking and governance support?
At Waymaker, our governance support offers a more in depth service for those organisations needing help with the strategy around framing how to effectively manage and run their regular meetings. If you have this figured out, our minute taking service allows you to spend the time managing your governance by letting us handle the minutes.
