Governor and Trustees needed for Devon Education Forum (DEF)

Would you consider taking on a wider governance role for Devon’s children?

Local Authority schools forums play a significant role in influencing and shaping local education funding. They provide a collaborative and consultative platform for strategic discussion and contribute to local decision making. Schools forums are an important contact point between the local authority and education providers so that through debate, discussion, and challenge, secure financial strategic planning and an equitable distribution of finance is achieved for all pupils within the local authority.

DAG is looking for new members to join DEF in September from maintained and academy schools, secondary and primary. DAG would be delighted to hear from governors and trustees who would consider taking on this additional voluntary role. Hybrid meetings are held four times a year on a Wednesday morning remotely and in person at County Hall in Exeter, training and support will be provided.

If you or any of your board may be interested please see the full details in our election notice and contact Amanda Blewett by 26^th May 2023 on [email protected] for more information.
