An Introduction to Good Governance


Good governance is about leadership and ensuring that an organisation is run effectively and in line with legal requirements. Good governance of an organisation is the responsibility of the trustees. However, most individuals who become trustees don’t start out with a well-developed knowledge of governance issues. Instead, they start out with a vitally-important passion for the work of the organisation, and the governance side of things is something they must learn along the way.

Develop your skills and knowledge so you can become an effective Trustee. This short course provides an overview of key governance issues including essential Trustee duties and how to achieve Board diversity. Contents include videos, animations, tasks and quizzes.
