A research project report, written by Dr Susan Pember OBE, has been published entitled ‘Recognising Excellence In The Governance of Independent Training Providers’. The project addressed the questions of what defines good governance in the ITP sector and what structures are needed to support and promote it. The research has led to the conclusion that, although there is much good practice, governance is under-developed in the FE sector including amongst ITPs and more needs to be done to support good governance.
As a result of this project, AELP has worked with sector leaders to develop a code of good governance for independent training providers. The code can be found here.
