Governance is in the spotlight.
With the government’s increasing investment in skills there is an increasing focus on governance. It’s a key element in maintaining your status as an approved provider, in achieving a good Ofsted grade, in being prepared for greater external scrutiny and in supporting continuous improvement and growth.
Led by a team of experienced governors and those with an insight into the new governance reviews, we’re hosting a free online session to explore what this means for you and share effective practice.
During the session, we’ll be covering:
- Governance in the context of the FE landscape
- How highly effective governance operates, best practice principles and what happens when it goes wrong
- Two themed discussion breakouts:
- Overview of the planned college Governance Effectiveness Reviews – in conversation with Rob Lawson OBE
- Exploring what works for independent training providers – in conversation with Karen Kelly non-executive director
- Sharing effective practice – what can we learn from each other?
- Governance support
This webinar will take place on Monday 21st February (11.00am – 12.15pm).
