Aim: This webinar will provide you with an expert overview of the responsibilities of governors and trustees in schools and education settings, and explain how you can maximise opportunities to engage with the whole school community, including parents and carers, and support school leaders and staff within your setting.

Rationale: School governors and trustees in England and Wales comprise the largest volunteer workforce in the country. Ofsted’s ‘School inspection handbook’ underlines the essential role of those responsible for governance in ensuring that “the education the school provides has a positive impact on all pupils”. Engaging with the whole school community, including parents and carers, can help governors and trustees build productive relationships and gain a comprehensive overview of the performance of their setting.
