The Corporation
College governing bodies are called “Corporations” and carry ultimate legal responsibility for college activities.
“Governors” or “Members” are the people who make up the Corporation. Governance is the process by which the Corporation exercises its powers and delivers its responsibilities.
Heart of Worcestershire College Corporation is a group of eighteen Governors who provide strategic direction, challenge and support to senior leaders. The Corporation has responsibilities towards College stakeholders who include students, staff, employers and the local community as well as towards the auditors, inspectors and regulators of the Government Departments and Agencies who provide the majority of College funding. The Principal has complementary responsibilities for the day to day management of the College and its staff.
Committee Meetings
Alongside Corporation Meetings, the Corporation Workshop and the Strategic Planning Day, Governors fulfil their responsibilities through active membership of the Committees to which they have been appointed to. There are currently five Committees that support the overall work of the Corporation: Audit, Finance and Resources, Governance and Search, Remuneration and Teaching and Learning Committee. In addition, the Corporation has an Appeals Committee, which can be convened as and when required. The Corporation is also represented on the HE Academic Board by the Lead Governor for Higher Education.
