Diversity Information
We believe a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We are in the process of collecting diversity information from our Governors to gather information for the purpose of diversity monitoring. A strategic approach to diversifying the Governing Board is to demonstrate the Board’s commitment to achieving diversity and equality at all levels of the school.
The purpose of diversity monitoring is not to promote token diversity – no formula is being applied to determine a representative Governing Board. Members of the Governing Board are not recruited solely on the basis of their protected characteristics or lived experience. The information our Governing Board members choose to provide will be handled in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation and the data protection responsibilities of the school.
We will use this information to inform our decisions; to address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks; to prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas and to develop and adapt Board practices to ensure full participation.
