The Governors' Podcast
Agenda Item 39 - Meeting Minutes… Writing for Hours but Reading in Seconds? | #TheGovernorsPodcast
For today's Single Item Agenda (episode), we discuss;
- Meeting packs (meeting papers) that school governors and academy trustees receive to read in preparation for upcoming governing board meetings
- The importance of the agenda item ‘Minutes of the Previous Meeting’ and how to approach it - Don’t simply scroll, skip or skim past this paper!
- The process of taking minutes, reading and approving minutes - plus tracking the actions, including Chair’s actions, compliance actions, noting the person responsible, setting deadline dates
- What annoys clerks and governance professionals
- Neurodiversity, inclusivity and accessibility - How best to write, construct and style minutes and meeting papers to consider the readers / target audience
Thank you for tuning into our show. We appreciate you, our listeners.
