Governing Body Decision Planner [Governornet]
The decision planner, published in November 2005, relates to the delegation of functions by the governing body and defines if a particular task has to be legally undertaken by the whole governing body or whether it can be delegated to a committee of the governing body, an individual member of the governing body or to the headteacher i.e. the minimum level to which a task or responsibility of the governing body can be legally delegated.
The planner aims to help governing bodies perform their strategic leadership role more effectively by delegating tasks and decisions appropriately.
