Link governors and trustees are appointed to take the lead on an area of their governing board鈥檚 responsibilities or to help monitor a specific improvement priority. This can be an opportunity to utilise an individual鈥檚 experience and skill set.

Link roles do not remove the board鈥檚 collective responsibility. As such, the governing board should ensure that the area assigned is covered on the agenda of full governing board and committee meetings as appropriate, so that all members of the governing board remain informed of the key issues, strategy outcomes and areas for development.

This page covers:

  • appointing link governors and trustees
  • a template role description
  • deciding link governor/trustee responsibilities
  • questions to ask when appointing or reviewing link roles
