Governor Support and Clerking

Governor Advice and Support

Effective administration and strategic advice.

Effective governance is essential in providing schools with strategic direction and leadership. It also holds school
leaders to account for educational and financial performance in order to achieve the best outcomes for all children
and young people.

BDSIP offers a package which supports effective governance by providing:

• Support and advice when you need it via phone or email – for matters of statutory governance in all types of
  schools (community, academy, diocesan) – by our highly experienced governor services manager.
• Access to best practice exemplars, including policies on governance, finance matters, school improvement and
  inclusion, and other education services.

Governor Advice, Support and Clerking

In addition to effective administration and strategic advice we can allocate a skilled and trained clerk who will prepare agendas for governing board meetings, coordinate briefing reports, support and minute the full board meetings, monitor the board membership, governors’ skill sets and attendance, provide advice on statutory matters and maintain governing board data.

Our skilled clerks will ensure that your governing body is fulfilling all statutory duties and complying with regulations. Information will be sent to governing bodies at least seven days in advance of meetings. We also have a strong track record in supporting schools and governing boards which need to improve in order to become ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
