Trustees are appointed to represent key professional constituencies relevant to the Society’s mission.

All are aware of and have read the guidance documents prepared by the Charity Commission (and bodies such as NCVO) on good governance and best practice for charity trustees. The Board works to and is guided by our Constitution, alongside a more detailed Terms of Reference document (available on-line). It meets online approximately every six weeks, when a brief up to date financial report is presented and financial matters are discussed and if necessary approved by Resolution. Full minutes are taken and approved and archived after each meeting. In addition the Board meet in person once annually at a full day meeting. The Board have developed and adopted written policies regarding GDPR and Safeguarding, in addition to other policies reflecting our specific mission. These are available on our website, www.ukimplementation.org.uk
