4. Non-executive leadership

Information on structures, roles and support.

This section covers the trust quality description of non-executive leadership.

The trust has a high performing governance structure where trustees and other non-executive leaders have the expertise to fulfil their functions effectively, with representation that reduces biases in decision-making. See Section 2: Governance of the trust.

The board accesses independent insight from internal and external audits, reviews of governance arrangements and other forms of expert advice. The trust provides board induction, training and review, and supports effective succession planning by building a pipeline of future trustees and committee members, with a focus on promoting diversity of thought and experience.
