Introduction to the North Warwickshire & Hinckley College Corporation

All Further Education College Corporations are concerned with the process of governance i.e. the action or manner of governing. At its most simple, the purpose of governance is to ensure “that an organisation achieves what it should achieve while avoiding those behaviours and situations that should be avoided”. The information on this web page has been placed here to enable you to see how effective and efficient governance is conducted at North Warwickshire & Hinckley College.

The Board of Corporation is keen to ensure that its staff, learners, the community it serves and the general public are able to access as much information about the College and the decisions it takes, as possible.

The reasons for this overriding desire for openness and transparency is two-fold; 

  • firstly, because the Corporation is a guardian of public funds and as such it owes a duty to the public to demonstrate that it effectively and efficiently uses those funds
  • secondly, because the College is a major resource for the local community, the Board of Corporation feels that it is essential to explain to that community, why the College is governed as it is

 The information provided on this web page includes: 

  • the College mission statement, strategic aims and values
  • details about the Members of the Board of Corporation
  • the Instrument and Articles of Government which outline how the Corporation and the Institution are to be conducted
  • an overview of the Corporation’s governance framework
  • a summary of the role of the Board of Corporation
  • the Board of Corporation’s Standing Orders and Code of Conduct
  • the Corporation Calendar of meetings
  • the Board’s meeting minutes

The Board of Corporation hopes that the information available here, enables you to understand what the Board does and to assure you that North Warwickshire & Hinckley College is being efficiently and effectively governed for the benefit of the people it serves.
