Governing Body - Background
The Corporation Board is the College's governing body.
It comprises 18 members drawn from a range of backgrounds and
experience. The membership reflects the varied communities which
the College serves.
The Board is a large team with a broad blend of skills. It meets
monthly to consider strategic developments, systematic monitoring
of College and management performance and prescribed compliance
reports.
The thrust of the Board's work, governance, is outward looking
and primarily future orientated in forming strategies as well as
providing accountability for past activities of the College.
Robust discussion is encouraged at meetings of the Board within
the conventions of standing orders. The Board makes the best use of
committees. Governors have resolved to develop a more visible
presence within the College community and have developed link
arrangements with each area of learning within the College.
Governors have a strong commitment to continuous improvement in
their own practice and annually conduct a rigorous
self-assessment.
The Corporation has scheduled meetings. In
addition, if there are pressing matters they may call special
meetings.
The number of issues that they need to discuss
is immense, so to ensure that all of them are given proper
consideration and meetings do not last too long, a committee system
is used.
There are six standing committees as
follows:
- Audit Committee
- Curriculum,
Quality and Performance Committee
- Finance and Resources
Committee
- Search and Governance
Committee
- Senior Staff
Employment Committee
- Self Assessment Working
