Who are the Council of Governors?
The role of the Council of Governors is to ensure that the views of:
- local people
- service users
- carers
- staff
are heard at the highest level within the Trust.
Every year, the Trust hosts its elections for all outgoing Governor roles, as well as any vacant positions.
The timeline for these can be as follows, with those successfully elected taking post for three years:
- Public Governors - 2027
- Service User and Carers - 2025
- Staff Governors - 2026
