These groups are protected in law under the Equality Act 2010 and there is some evidence that they are disproportionately underrepresented in governance roles in higher education. We draw this evidence from our analysis in 2020 and 2022 of the diversity of UK HE governors and wider data sets. Developing diverse talent is important, and it is recognised that sustainable change in behaviour and practice requires increased inclusion at a structural level, particularly in governance structures. For individuals to be successful we need to remove barriers previously hindering progress which cannot be done by a development programme in isolation. Advance HE and Wellcome are therefore requiring each participant is supported by an institutional champion.

The NEDs play an important part in assisting the Chair to fulfil their role by regularly and rigorously assessing the effectiveness of the board’s processes and activities. Given their outside perspective, they are sometimes best placed to ensure that the board focuses its energies effectively on meeting the demands described earlier. The context for the non-executive director What do you consider a disability or long-term health condition for the purposes of this programme ? It is, of course, impossible to list every task that each individual board of directors has to carry out. Each has to consider its own situation and circumstances. For example, small privately owned companies might not be concerned with many of the issues that preoccupy large listed companies. Actually, the answer to both of those questions is the same. On board and onboard have distinct usage cases, and both of those examples just happened to be situations where on board is correct. I’m sure a lot of people would agree that we live in strange times. But do they have to be so strange that Area 51 is making headlines? And what’s this about fish the look like aliens. September’s Words in the News explain all.It was when setting up social media accounts for All On The Board, providing a platform for commuters to post selfies taken with the quotes, that they realised just how far their reach was, and in some cases, which famous faces were seeing the posts. The UK Corporate Governance Code sets out its own view of the role of the board. This can be summarised as: they hold cross-directorships or have significant links with other directors through involvement in other companies or bodies (this works against the ‘old boys’ club’ method of appointing non-executives: George is finance director at company A and sits as a non-executive on the board of company B; Harry is chief executive at company B and sits as a non-executive at company A);

At a time when everyone is putting on masks, we’re taking ours off; it’s kind of symbolic,’ adds Chopra. ‘There’s going to be a lot of disappointment; we’ve told people we look like George Clooney,’ he laughs, alluding to the fact that in the beginning, the pair would wear celebrity masks when writing or wheeling out the boards. The Code makes a distinction between non-executives who are independent and those who are not. To qualify for the former category, an individual must not only have the necessary independence of character and judgement but also be free of any connections that may lead to conflicts of interest.As an adjective, onboard always comes before the noun it modifies—in the sentences above, these are GPS and system. After a verb, choose the phrase on board instead. With their messages of positivity, inclusivity, remembrance and humour, the quotes have lifted spirits and raised smiles on the faces of those who have seen them – and, the duo hope, will reach a whole new audience now they’ve been collated into a book. Working with publishing house Yellow Kite, the pair whittled down their 2,000 quotes, grouping the best into 12 themes for the book, which include: 'raising awareness', 'love', 'mental health', 'London' and 'legends'.

Each of these can be broken down into separate elements (as seen in the overview at the end of this factsheet).The programme uses the definition of disability as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. Under the Act, you are considered to have the protected characteristic of disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal daily activities. These activities are normally undertaken by the Chair, part of whose role is to manage board business and act as its facilitator and guide. If you want to be the dancing queen (or king) of good governance and avoid a waterloo for your charity, then this book is for you. they have a ‘material business relationship’ with the company or have had one within the previous three years, including an indirect relationship as a partner, director, senior employee or shareholder of an adviser or major customer or supplier (this would catch a partner from, for example, the company’s audit firm moving on to the board after retirement);
