Governance recovery

Put the governance record back in order

A defined project that establishes what is outstanding, puts right what the evidence supports, and hands back a position the board can hold.

First output

A written position, before any quote.

Scope and fee follow the review, because the size of the job is not knowable until somebody has been through the record.

How the work runs

Diagnose

A written statement of what is missing, overdue or inconsistent, established against the record.

Prioritise

The order of work, driven by inspection, audit, funding or meeting deadlines.

Agreed with the board before anything is rewritten.

Hand back

A live tracker the board keeps, and a position it can hold at the next inspection.

What gets put right

Outstanding minutes

Drafted from available evidence and taken through proper approval. Where the evidence does not support a record, it is recorded as outstanding rather than invented.

Membership and terms

Board membership, terms of office, appointing bodies and vacancies rebuilt and verified.

Declarations and attendance

GovernorHub

Membership, permissions, document areas and meeting information brought into line.

GIAS, website and Companies House

The three records a trust must keep in step, reconciled against each other and brought up to date.

The standard that applies

Registers, GovernorHub and GIAS are updated within 10 working days of notification, which keeps a trust inside the 14 calendar days it has to notify DfE of a governance change.

Start with what is outstanding.
