The board meets twice per term (2-monthly). Meetings are scheduled for 2.5hrs (but generally run for 1.5hrs)
Members are not expected to serve on any subcommittees/groups of the board. The Board is keen to ensure that the divisional representation on this committee reflects the diversity of the staff body, as such nominations and expressions of interest are particularly encouraged from disabled individuals and racially/ethnically minoritised individuals.
