Election process

Elections are conducted independently of the Trust by a company with expertise in running local government elections and elections for other Foundation Trusts. The new governor’s terms of office will start on 1 April 2021.

The newly elected governors will take part in an induction programme which will include information about their role, learning from the experience of other governors, and clarity about their responsibilities and those which are exercised by the Board of Directors.
