Governor panels

Occasionally you may struggle to find impartial governors from your own governing board or trust to sit on a panel. We can act as an intermediary to assist in contacting experienced governors and trustees via our network to sit on your panel.

How do I request this service?

Click on the 'Request for Independent Panel member' link on the right and complete the form. We will use the information submitted to create a request for assistance which will be shared (without giving the name of the school). Once responses are received, we will forward you the contact details for your independent panel members, enabling you to contact them directly to make final arrangements.

If your board does not subscribe to The Governance Service, an arrangement fee of £54 will be charged.
