FE Governance

Forum Report

This is a summary of the key findings from the 2nd Good Governance Forum, held at the Emirates Stadium, London on 10th May 2007 as part of CEL's Leadership Skills for Governance programme. The forum was attended by over 200 chairs, governors, principals, senior post-holders and clerks. Delegates were asked to contribute to three areas of debate: recruitment and diversity, the Leitch review and selfregulation. The comments and questions arising from the table discussions were put to a panel of representatives from various agencies. Panel members included: Lynne Sedgmore CBE, Chief Executive, Centre for Excellence in Leadership; Rob Wye, Director of Strategy and Communications, Learning & Skills Council; Susan Pember CBE, Director, FE Learning and Skills Performance Group, Department for Education and Skills; Andrew Thomson, Chief Executive, Quality Improvement Agency for Lifelong Learning; Sue Dutton, Deputy Chief Executive, Association of Colleges. This report highlights the key recommendations from the Forum and also provides statements from leading policy makers about how they plan to take these ideas forward in the future.
