Governors Induction toolkit
1 May 2025
Introducing new governors to their roles is pivotal for effective governance within the NHS. This toolkit supports company secretaries and membership managers in delivering their local induction for new governors.
Governance
To maximise the toolkit's effectiveness, please begin with the accompanying covering letter, which provides essential guidance on utilising each chapter effectively.
By integrating this toolkit into your induction process, you ensure that new governors are well-prepared to fulfil their responsibilities, fostering a robust foundation for their journey in NHS governance.
Toolkit overview
The Induction Toolkit comprises five structured chapters, each containing:
-
Presentations: Tailored content for trust staff to facilitate informative sessions.
-
Workbooks: Interactive materials designed for governors to reinforce learning and encourage active participation.
Chapters:
- Chapter 1 - Introduction
- Chapter 2 - What does my trust look like?
- Chapter 3 - What is my role?
- Chapter 4 - How do I carry out my role?
- Chapter 5 - What type of information am I going to see?
Get in touch if you have any questions.
I found it engaging, informative, comprehensive and it is an ideal opportunity to reflect and equip Governors. It is also a good tool to refresh existing Governors knowledge and provides an excellent overview with useful illustrations.
