COMMUNITY
We are here for our community – building a powerful peer network of academy trust governance professionals across the country.
Trust Governance Professionals is an organisation on a mission to support academy trust governance professionals. We were established by a group of governance professionals motivated by the knowledge that the governance role in academy trusts is unique, multi-faceted and broad-ranging.
We have experience of directly delivering academy governance across the full range of aspects of this role – from board and committee support to local governance, risk, compliance, policies, admissions, exclusions, data protection, and freedom of information. We leverage this in-depth knowledge of the demands and complexities of this role in order to provide expert support to trusts in training, recruiting and developing governance professionals across the country.
Our flagship programme is Trust Governance Insight, which offers training, resources, tailored one-to-one advice and access to a community of fantastic governance professionals.
We support trusts looking to hire a governance professional through our Trust Governance Recruit service. Our team can then provide bespoke induction, mentoring and training for academy governance professionals, company secretaries and clerks through our Trust Governance Develop offer.
