## Description

Over the last 18 months the College has seen a series of changes which have impacted the College's governance arrangements and alongside the recently published DfE interim guidance on strengthening governance, the Corporation has agreed to commission an external review of governance effectiveness\. Undertaking a review in the Spring Term of 2022 that reports in early Summer 2022 would enable any recommendations to be considered and changes implemented in time for the 2022/23 academic year\. Bidders should note that the focus of this review is governance effectiveness\. A separate review of governance compliance is being undertaken by the College's Internal Audit Service and therefore compliance matters are outside the scope of this review\. The outcome of the internal audit review will be shared with the successful bidder\.
