What is governance?

Governance is about how our Trust is managed and how decisions are made. In particular governance focuses on:

• Organisation – How decisions are made by our Trust Board and committees
• Management – The roles and responsibilities established to manage our services and to help our Trust achieve its objectives.
• Policies – Providing our staff with guidelines to help them when making decisions while carrying out their tasks

With good governance processes in place we can assure the community that we serve that our Trust is operating efficiently and safely.
