Council of Governors meetings
Our Council of Governors meetings are held in public, usually from 10am. Any exceptions to this will be listed in the papers below.
In response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) we decided to hold our Council of Governors meetings virtually, on Zoom. We are currently reviewing this and looking to make them hybrid.
If you would like to ask questions on the papers, need interpreting support, or require the papers in other formats, please contact Kessia Ducasse, Council and Engagement Manager, at kessia.

Members of the public will be given the opportunity to ask questions, but may not take part in the Council discussion. Normally the Chair will ask members of the public about these at the beginning of the public meeting, so that they can be picked up by directors at the relevant time. Any questions must be based on the agenda items. We ask that members of the public notify us in advance about a question they might like to ask, so that we can make necessary enquiries in order to enable us to give a full and satisfactory answer. In the event that the question cannot be answered at the meeting it may need to be deferred to the next meeting or provided to the member of the public in correspondence. Any questions can be submitted to Hilary Saunders.
