## Description

The Board carries out an annual internal self-assessment of its effectiveness and capabilities as a group against a number of key indicators\. These internal assessments are supplemented by an independent external assessment every 3 years\. Board effectiveness reviews must provide a robust independent review of the board's effectiveness - including whether it has the structure, processes, people and performance to deliver\. It must consider how it interacts with the executive and stakeholders, and whether respective roles are clear\. It must involve feedback and perspectives from outside the board and consider best practice elsewhere\.
