Guidance for Governors on Equality and Diversity
Governing bodies, equality and diversity: a handbook for governors of higher education institutions has been published by the Leadership Foundation and the Equality Challenge Unit. This handbook describes the responsibilities of governing bodies in this area and provides guidance, case studies drawn from initiatives already under way, and resources to assist them.
Equality legislation is now extensive, and imposes specific responsibilities on governing bodies. More legislation is expected in 2009. This handbook will be a valuable resource, with a framework to help governors engage with equality within institutions.
For regular updates on various topics governors may wish to join the HEFCE governance e mail list.
