Just before the end of the summer parliamentary session, Home Office minister Keith Bradley announced that the law will be widened to include “about 3.5 million enterprises, for example it will include NHS trusts and voluntary bodies”. School governing bodies are included in the 3.5m.
If the law goes ahead, every governor faces prosecution and imprisonment if it can be shown that a lack of adequate procedures or staff training caused a fatal accident. A conviction will probably lead to litigation for damages in a civil court.
Very little publicity has been given to Mr Bradley’s announcement. My son sent it to me with the question: So do you still want to be a governor, Dad?
