Governance & Policy

Governance, put simply, is “the way a group of people do things”.

The way universities do things is changing fast and is under more scrutiny than ever, and ensuring you have effective governance and robust policies is vital.

We are passionate about good governance and policy. Our overarching aim is to improve the health of your governance culture, processes and policies. We can support you to ensure that your governance is agile, effective, transparent and inclusive – the hallmarks of healthy governance.
