Our Board of Directors is responsible for leading the Trust. The Directors provide our strategic direction and make decisions based on the needs of the people we support. 

The Directors check our performance and ensure that we’re doing what we say we will and that we put it right when we don't.

They also make sure that our services provide value for money to the taxpayer, that we plan for our financial future and that we talk to the communities we serve.

Some of the more detailed work carried out by the Board is split into different committees. These committees have the authority to make decisions.

Take a look at these committees.

Board membership

Our Board is made up of Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and Directors who sit on the Board in a non-voting capacity.
