London Learning Consortium (LLC) benefits from a highly experienced Board of Non-Executive Directors (NEDs). The role of the Board is to set directions, establish policies, ensure accountability, and provide leadership that enhances developments and supports learners at LLC. The Board draws a clear line between governance and management and operates at a strategic level.
The Board is made up of NEDs, the CEO and executive team and a staff representative. NEDs are appointed for a three-year period (after which they can be re-elected). They collectively bring a rich range of expertise, ensuring an appropriate balance of skills, knowledge and experience provides both support and constructive challenge.
The Board meets formally four times a year. Between meetings, Board members serve on one of the Board’s three committees – Quality Curriculum and Performance, Growth and Business Development or Finance, Audit and Risk. Board members may also be asked to assist with matters on an ad hoc basis.
At meetings, Board members are expected to provide support and constructive challenge based on an impartial assessment of the available facts and hence act and vote according to conscience and judgment. On a less formal basis, Board members support LLC events and functions and are its advocates within the wider community.
