Corporate governance structure
The Corporation Board is responsible for providing strategic leadership, oversight, and accountability to the Group.
The board sets the strategic direction of the group and appoints senior post-holders, who are responsible for day-to-day leadership and management.
By setting a clear mission, strategic objectives, and robust progress measures, the board can:
- ensure the solvency of members of the Group
- safeguard public funds and assets in our care
- ensure sustainable, high-quality provision that meets the needs of our local communities.
The Corporation Board has adopted a structure of governance based on a Carver, policy-driven model, and therefore focuses on outcomes and impact (the ‘ends’), whilst ensuring that all other statutory requirements are effectively met.
