Bedford Borough Council provides a comprehensive and highly valued programme of governor training and support.
Governor training
Our training supports governors to become highly effective in fulfilling their statutory responsibilities and strategic functions, including safeguarding. It is responsive to government initiatives helping to keep governors informed about recent trends and developments.
Our trainers are commissioned from both within the local authority and from external providers ensuring the quality of expertise and delivery. We offer a wide range of topics through primarily online courses. Training includes topics targeted to develop knowledge and skills for all governors and the clerk or governance professional.
GovernorHub
The subscription package includes access to GovernorHub, a resource that is greatly appreciated by our governing boards. GovernorHub provides a secure and confidential management document and communications system enabling robust and efficient governance.
Through GovernorHub, schools can access a range of resources covering guidance, template documents and online training sessions covering a wide range of topics for education and school governors.
