Under the County Council’s Financial Scheme, every governing body is required to establish and update a register of governors’ interests. This means that governors and Headteachers must register and declare interests that might relate to their duties.
The principle behind this arrangement is that neither governors, Headteachers, or their spouses, partners, businesses or employers, should benefit financially from the involvement of governors or Headteachers in decisions taken by a governing body or one of its committees.
The register ensures that a system exists for governors to declare and register interests to ensure that decisions are always taken in the best interests of the school or the public funds that finance it.
