About the Governance Board
The Governance Board provides independent oversight of Kent Business College's apprenticeship and training provision. It reviews evidence from senior leaders, tests the accuracy of self-assessment, monitors improvement activity and checks that decisions remain focused on the interests of learners, apprentices, employers and stakeholders.
Governors receive assurance on curriculum quality, teaching and training, safeguarding, learner voice, employer engagement, finance, risk, data and funding compliance. Challenge and agreed actions are recorded through normal governance papers, minutes and action tracking.
The Governance Board does not replace the statutory duties of the company directors or the operational responsibilities of senior leaders. Its purpose is to provide scrutiny, support, challenge and public accountability.
