Application
New governors should receive a thorough induction that is tailored to their role in the
organisation. All governors should have opportunities to develop further skills and to
update their knowledge throughout their period of membership of the governing body, and
should take seriously their responsibilities to identify and address their development needs.
Individual governors should be held to account for their contribution through regular
performance reviews. These should include an assessment of any training or
development needs.
The governing body should regularly review its performance as a whole. The review
should involve assessing its ways of working and achievements and agreeing an action
plan to put in place any necessary improvements.
