5. Good governance means developing the capacity and capability of
the governing body to be effective
u What skills have we decided that governors must have to do their jobs
effectively? How well does our recruitment process identify people
with the necessary skills and reach people from a wide cross-section of
society? What more could we do to make sure that becoming a governor
is practical for as many people as possible?
u How effective are we at developing our skills and updating our
knowledge? How effective are our arrangements for reviewing the
performance of individual governors? Do we put into practice action
plans for improving our performance as a governing body?
