Reviewing decisions made by the senior executive leader

Your role as a governor or trustee is likely to include taking part in formal panels to review decisions made by the senior leader of the school or trust.

Each of our panel work sessions will give you a clear idea of how the panel should be conducted, typical challenges you may face and what you need to do to fulfil your role confidently and effectively.

The three sessions are:

  • pupil suspensions and exclusions
  • parental and other complaints
  • staff employment related appeals and matters

Each two-hour session will cover:

Why panels are needed
The relevant regulatory framework
Principles and starting points
Roles and responsibilities
Judicial method
Preparing for the panel hearing
Fully bespoke

This session can be tailored to the circumstances of your school or trust.

about this course

What are the benefits?

Sitting on a formal panel and being expected to ask questions, evaluate evidence and reach a sound decision is a daunting prospect for governors, trustees and academy committee members (local governing body). Being required to attend a panel can be equally challenging for senior executive leaders, pupils and parents.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear picture of how a panel should work, your role in the process and how to follow the relevant law, guidance and policies. You should be able to participate confidently and contribute to a sound panel decision, applying the law and evidence.
