Supporting our college boards
The CDN National College Governance Programme provides support to College Board Members. The Programme has been developed to provide a full range of continuing professional development activities from inductions for new Board Members to training and guidance in specific areas of governance.
This support goes all the way from encouraging people to consider becoming a board member to helping to evaluate the effectiveness of boards and undertaking research into how boards operate and how they can improve.
Board members can access our full suite of Governance training materials via CDN LearnOnline. Keep an eye on our upcoming events page for Governance events.
The Code of Good Governance for Scotland’s colleges
The Code of Good Governance for Scotland’s colleges is a core reference document for anyone involved in governance in this sector. Adherence to the Code, which has been developed by the sector and its key stakeholders through the Good Governance Steering Group, is obligatory for every board that receives money from the Scottish Funding Council.
