Committees of the trustees including Local Governance Boards
The Trustees may appoint committees with functions related to the Trust. The constitution, membership and proceedings of any committee shall be determined by the Trustees under terms of reference. Each committee shall be chaired by a Trustee. Membership of a committee may include persons who are not Trustees provided that (with the exception of the Local Governance Board (LGB)) a majority of the members of the committee are Trustees.
Except in the case of a LGB, no vote on any matter shall be taken at a meeting of a committee of the Trustees unless the majority of members of the committee present are Trustees.
The Trustees shall ensure that they receive adequate feedback on the work of any committees.
Committees will act in an advisory capacity to the Trustees, except where powers have been specifically delegated to them by the Trustees. The specific committees appointed are as follows:
- Business and Management (B&M):
- Audit Committee - a sub-committee of the B&M Committee
- Pay Committee – a sub-committee of the B&M Committee;
- Strategy and HR Committee
- Education Committee
- Admissions Committee - a sub committee of the Education Committee
- Local Governance Board: responsible for monitoring and acting as a critical friend, for the overall achievement of the educational standards, welfare and local resource management relating to the functioning at that school. There are currently 7 LGBs, one for each LLT school.
