Launch of the UCL Governor Network - 18 November 2019

The UCL Governor Network is launching, to provide support and training for UCL staff who serve as governors of schools and colleges, and inspire more staff to take on governor roles. Many UCL staff demonstrate commitment to their communities through voluntary roles and a number volunteer as school governors. UCL is launching a Governor Network, to celebrate and support staff throughout UCL who are governors at primary and secondary schools and colleges, and to inspire more staff to take on governor roles. Governing is a rewarding activity, and makes a difference to children and young people by supporting schools in raising educational standards. It is also a fantastic opportunity to develop new skills at a board-level environment, skills which are recognised by UCL and may support career development. Governors are also welcome for any professional expertise they bring to their governing body, whether in HR, finance, strategic planning or marketing to name just a few. The network is open to all staff, whether you are an already a governor or you are interested in finding out more, and it will support staff through Training and networking events in order to enhance further skills and effectiveness as governors.
