About the Departmental Board
The role of the board is to advise the department on performance, including agreeing key performance indicators. It also oversees operational issues, such as the operational/delivery implications of policy proposals, and the effective management of the department.
It exercises its role through influence and advice, and both supports and challenges the executive.
Members also scrutinise the progress and implementation of the business plan, and are involved in recruiting, appraising and ensuring appropriate succession planning of senior executives.
The board meets regularly with other non-executives across government to ensure departments learn from the successes and failures of comparable organisations.
All board members, including the lead, are appointed for a 3 year period. They can be reappointed once for a further period of 3 years.
