At Stone King, we are passionate about helping Colleges achieve their missions.  One way in which we do this is by working closely with Governors, Governance Professionals and Senior Leaders to optimise a college’s governance arrangements. Colleges play a crucial role in our society and we believe that strong, effective governance helps a college be the best it can be.

We are launching a brand-new governance service, which, in its first phase, will include six modules, each supported by a governance guide. These guides will cover core areas of governance and include:

  • Strategy – setting strategies and overseeing progress
  • Progress – setting and monitoring an annual operating plan and key performance indicators
  • People – creating and maintaining a high-performing Governing Board
  • Board Propriety – Governor code of conduct, conflicts of interest, declarations, powers, and scheme of delegation
  • Self-assessment – assessing effectiveness to drive continual improvement
  • Board Assurance – mapping for the future and managing risks

These core guides are written by our team of Governance Professional experts, in plain English, to help Governance Professionals review and develop their processes and policies, making their college’s governance more effective. With each guide, you will also receive access to templates and supporting documents, providing  a springboard for positive change. The focus will be to highlight practical steps that Governance Professionals will need to consider to ensure the Board’s practices policies are compliant, fit for purpose and right for their particular organisation.

We are currently preparing these guides for launch in the coming months.  We are offering the opportunity to preview some of these resources, and to register your interest in hearing more. If you are a Governance Professional and you would like to be among the first to access these guides, you can register your interest using our form below, and we will email you when these guides become available.
