Note that the date of first term appointment is the date of becoming a Foundation Trust. However,<br />

with the exception of Liam Coleman, all had been appointed before this date <strong>and</strong> hence there is<br />

variation in their first terms of office.<br />

Non-Executive Directors are appointed by the Council of Governors. A Non-Executive Director or<br />

Chairman may be removed from office with approval of three-quarters of the members of the<br />

Council of Governors.<br />

As recommended by the Local Counter Fraud Service (LCFS), the names of all Trust Directors<br />

(Executive <strong>and</strong> Non-Executive) are cross-referenced with the Disqualified Directors Register on the<br />

Companies House website on an annual basis. No Trust Directors appeared on the Disqualified<br />

Directors Register (as of 14 March 2012).<br />

*<strong>The</strong>se six Non-Executive Directors were re-appointed during 2011/12. <strong>The</strong> process involved<br />

assessment by a Joint Nominations Committee <strong>and</strong> the Governor Nomination <strong>and</strong> Remuneration<br />

Working Group. <strong>The</strong> following considerations were taken into account <strong>and</strong> matched against a job<br />

description <strong>and</strong> person specification in respect of each re-appointment: -<br />

• Skills <strong>and</strong> qualities identified as required;<br />

• Composition of the Board mapped against Directors;<br />

• Statutory <strong>and</strong> Code of Governance requirements;<br />

• Governors’ duties in considering re-appointments;<br />

• Views of the Chairman <strong>and</strong> Governors;<br />

• Independence;<br />

• Qualifications <strong>and</strong> experience requirements;<br />

• <strong>Annual</strong> performance appraisals feedback;<br />

• Board development feedback;<br />

• Refreshment of the Board;<br />

• Changes in significant commitments which could be relevant;<br />

• Time commitment for the role; <strong>and</strong><br />

• Term of appointment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> re-appointments were approved by the Council of Governors.<br />
