Link Governor Roles and Responsibilities Pack

Clear roles make for more effective governors. This pack gives you ten fully editable roles and responsibilities templates for different link governor roles so every member of your governing board understands their purpose, their priorities and how to fulfil their responsibilities with a genuinely strategic focus.

You’ll get:

• Ten editable link governor roles and responsibilities templates – covering attendance, behaviour, curriculum, finance, GDPR and data protection, health and safety, pupil premium, safeguarding, SEND and staff, pupil and community welfare
• Clarity for every governor – each template sets out the key duties, relevant policies, staff relationships and strategic focus for that role, so governors know exactly what they should be doing and why
• Ready to use or adapt – use as-is or customise to reflect your school’s context; templates can also serve as governor role terms of reference documents if needed

All templates are fully editable so you can adapt them to reflect your school’s context and needs.

For support with a specific link governor role, the relevant link governor role and responsibilities template is also available in our individual link governor support packs. These packs also include a full set of link governor questions that can be used in a collaborative manner between schools leaders and governors, plus a reporting to governor template so governors have a better understanding of the school, leading to more effective governance.
