The Department for Education (DfE) has released an update to the Governance Handbook (external link). This document is a crucial resource for governors and trustees as it gives a detailed breakdown of their roles, responsibilities and legal duties, with signposting to useful resources.
The list of updates in this edition can be found on pages six to eight of the handbook. The new guide includes, amongst other things, greater emphasis on parental engagement, updated signposting to resources – including the new DfE workload reduction toolkit, updated information on Analyse School Performance, and a new subsection on executive pay.
