This session is free of charge for all chairs who purchase the Clerking and Support Service Level Agreement. A cost of £40 will be charged to those schools/academies for chairs of governors/trustees wishing to access the session from governing boards that do not buy into the Clerking and Support Service Level agreement.

The purpose of the session is to prepare chairs for their forthcoming governing board meetings and to equip them with the knowledge, information and advice needed to effectively undertake their role.

The chairs’ briefing sessions aim to:

• Deepen the understanding of the role of the chair
• Enhance confidence and skills in managing the role and relationships
• Share leadership issues and make good use of the skills and knowledge of others
• Provide information about meeting procedure and regulations

Due to the current Government COVID Measures, we will not be holding the face to face session as planned but instead will continue with the Live Teams Event.  A Q&A function will be available and a link to the session will be sent to all those booked onto the briefing by Friday 21 January 2022.

The recording of the live event will be made available via the Governance Gateway and may be viewed at your leisure.
