Governance Health Check. Diagnosing Effective Governance for FE Colleges. Second Edition. [and] Diagnosing Effective Governance for Land-Based Colleges. Second Edition.
Learning and Skills Development Agency, London (England).
These two documents are designed to assist governing bodies of England's further education (FE) and land-based colleges self-assess their performance and identify ways of improving their performance. Each document contains a "healthcheck" that requires approximately 30 minutes to complete and that was developed in response to informative feedback from 247 colleges regarding a previous questionnaire. Each document begins with a brief overview, glossary of key terms used in the questionnaire, and list of five resources. Each healthcheck contains 10 sections with questions designed to identify the following things: strengths and weaknesses within the board; the need for further briefing, development, or training of individual members; and deficiencies in the scope, adequacy, and relevance of information and support provided by the college. The items covered in the 10 sections are as follows: (1) governors' roles and responsibilities; (2) board efficiency and effectiveness; (3) strategy and mission; (4) relationships between the governing body, college, and other stakeholders; (5-9) fulfilling responsibilities and monitoring progress related to: curriculum and the learner, finance, human resources, estates and facilities management, and quality assurance; and (10) legal aspects. Although both questionnaires include identical section headings, each contains questions tailored to the specific type of college under discussion (FE or land-based college). (MN)
