Principle 2 – An effective board will provide good governance and leadership by working well both as individuals and as a team

The board will have a range of appropriate policies and procedures, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours to enable both individuals and the board to work effectively. The board will plan for its own development and renewal by:

• Finding and recruiting new board members to meet the organisation’s changing needs in relation to skills, experience and diversity.
• Providing suitable induction for new board members.
• Providing all board members with opportunities for training and development according to their needs.
• Periodically reviewing their performance both as individuals and as a team.
