The Board operates under the leadership and guidance of the chair and works in partnership with the chief executive officer and the executive team.
Board members are expected to always act in the best interests of the organisation and its stakeholders, and to use their background knowledge and skills to work with the chair and other board members to ensure that the Board, supported by its committees, carries out its responsibilities effectively and lead from the top in demonstrating our culture, values and behaviours.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
