Governance
Within our Trust there are well-established systems for the management of governance issues. The individuals involved, their responsibilities and contact details, are listed below.


Although our Trust aims to make as much information available as possible about our work, some of the information shared with these organisations will not be in the public domain. Some information that is of a personal and confidential nature or otherwise exempt under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 will be excluded, as will any other confidential material. This includes material relating to the health and safety of specific individuals, as to law enforcement or criminal or regulatory enforcement or audit issues, which may also be excluded from publication. There may be circumstances where material cannot be released because the appropriate officer of the Trust has taken the view that it may be prejudicial to the conduct of public affairs.
