Council of Governors
One of the guiding principles of being a Foundation Trust is that we are accountable to local people. Our elected Council of Governors help shape the way we plan and deliver our integrated community, mental health and learning disability services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. They consist of member of public, patient, carers and service users, staff and individuals appointed by partner organisation. The role of the Council is:
• To represent the views of staff, patients and the public, particularly in relation to the Trust’s strategic direction.
• Representing the views of members as a member of the Council of Governors, you would act as a link between Foundation Trust members and the Board of Directors.
• The Council helps the Board to make sure that the views of local communities, staff and people who use the Trust’s services are taken into account when plans for services are being developed.
• To hold the Non-Executive Directors to account for the performance of the Board of Directors. Governors are given various opportunities to hold Non-Executive Directors to account, for example, by observing their activities or meeting with them and asking them questions.
