The Board is supported in its assurance and oversight of the organisation by six committees, each chaired by a non-executive director.
The Shareholder Director is supported by nominated individuals in certain committees. The names of these individuals can be found in the Annual Report & Accounts.
The Board delegates certain functions to these committees. This allows the Board to spend a significant proportion of its time on strategic decision-making, whilst obtaining proper assurance that decisions across the organisation have been made effectively and based on the correct information. Furthermore, it enables non-executive directors to share their expertise more widely with the Executive and Senior Management Team.
