Declarations of Interests
The Clerk will hold and maintain a register of Governors’ interests.
All Governors are required to manually complete an entry in the Register of Interests on an annual basis. Governors can add or remove interests from the Register during the year.
Governors are required to declare any personal or financial interests that could be seen to have an impact upon the exercise of their role and responsibilities as a Governor. Normally Governors will declare, at the outset of a meeting, any potential conflicts arising from the planned business of that meeting.
If a matter emerges during the course of a meeting which relates directly to an item of business under consideration, then a Governor should immediately declare an interest. The Chair will have the right to seek the Corporation’s decision as to whether or not that member should withdraw.
