Stepping up into a lead governance role – or found yourself at the deep end, having never worked in trust governance before?
At a key inflection point in your trust, such as significant growth or going through a review of governance structures?
Looking for bespoke support through your trust governance journey?
We are with you through it all.
We recognise that increasing numbers of governance professionals in academy trusts are being asked to work in different ways and take on a wide range of functions across governance and compliance.
To support you, we can provide bespoke mentoring to meet your needs, and those of your trust. This is delivered through a structured programme facilitated by expert professionals who have done the role and know how it feels.
Why should you join Trust Governance Insight?
What does Trust Governance Mentor give me?
