Information for Council Members

The purpose of these webpages is to introduce new members of Council to Goldsmiths, University of London and their role in its governance, and to update continuing members on information which is subject to frequent change.

This is part of a programme of induction and briefing provided for all members, which will be subject to continuing development, particularly in respect of quantitative data. Members of Council are encouraged to notify the Corporate Governance and Information Management Department (CGIM) of any information which might usefully be added.

From time to time, members of Council will be invited to attend external training sessions on the Governor Development Programme of the Leadership Foundation. The Foundation's website is at: http://www.lfhe.ac.uk/.

In addition to this website, Council members may find the following Web areas concerning governance useful:

• Main Governance webpages (includes: Charter, Statutes and Ordinances, and and explanation of how these and other types of regulatory material relate to each other)
  
• Regulations
  
• Committee System Information (including minutes of certain key bodies and Council Membership)

• The Information Law pages, which incorporate:
  
  • Policy on Categorisation of Committee Business (within the College's Freedom of Information Policy: describing the levels of confidentiality within Council and committee business)
  • Privacy Policy, which also applies to Council members.
