Corporate governance structure
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Corporation Board is responsible for providing strategic leadership, oversight, and accountability to the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Group.
The board sets the strategic direction of the group and appoints senior post-holders, who are responsible for day-to-day leadership and management.
By setting a clear mission, strategic objectives, and robust progress measures, the board can:
- ensure the solvency of members of the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Group
- safeguard public funds and assets in our care
- ensure sustainable, high-quality provision that meets the needs of our local communities.
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Corporation Board has adopted a structure of governance based on a Carver, policy-driven model, and therefore focuses on outcomes and impact (the ‘ends’), whilst ensuring that all other statutory requirements are effectively met.Â
