Are you responsible for supporting and advising college governors, organising governing body meetings and ensuring the correct processes, policies and governance documentation for your college? Not every specialist college employs a professional clerk to the governors or senior governance professional, but every Natspec member should have appropriate governance procedures. This network compares approaches to supporting and advising governors, and gives you an opportunity to share practice and discuss what constitutes good governance in specialist colleges.
There are some resources, example JDs and role descriptors, and templates on the member SharePoint site for college governance. Natspec members can access this folder using the link below.
