4 1. Introduction Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) is a Public Benefit Corporation that was first authorised in 2008 in accordance with the provisions of the National Health Service Act The NHS Act 2006 (as amended by the Health and Social Care Act 2012) sets out the legal framework within which Foundation Trusts must operate. Since the 1 st April 2013, all NHS Foundations Trusts need a NHS Provider Licence from Monitor which stipulates general and specific conditions that must be met. Key among these are financial sustainability and governance requirements. What is corporate governance? Corporate governance is the system by which board-led organisations, including Foundation Trusts, are directed and controlled at its most senior levels, in order to achieve its objectives and meet the necessary standards of accountability and probity. It is predominately about how the board conducts its business, and is separate from the day-to-day operational management of the executive directors and senior leadership team. The UK Corporate Governance Code produced by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC Code) 1 is the authoritative point of reference regarding corporate governance in the UK, and is also applicable to Foundation Trusts. The Healthy NHS Board 2013: principles for good governance 2 examines board effectiveness in an NHS setting and Monitor, the sector regulator for health services in England has its own Code of Governance 3, with which Foundation Trusts must comply or explain the reasons why the Trust has chosen not to comply. Drawing on these key governance documents, this framework sets out the arrangements intended to provide a foundation of excellent governance, enabling the C&I Board to conduct its business effectively. 1 The UK Corporate Governance Code, September The Healthy NHS Board, Principles for Good Governance, The NHS Foundation Trust Code of Governance,
5 2. Aims Through its governance arrangements the Board aims to: Ensure it meets its statutory obligations; Ensure effective stewardship of public funds; Maximise the effectiveness of the Trust; and Be a model of excellence in corporate governance by adopting the highest standards of business conduct. 3. Corporate governance manual Since the Board of Directors exercise all of the powers of the Foundation Trust, it is not necessary for boards to have their roles set out as terms of reference. While the generality of the powers and liabilities of boards are widely known, the specifics of what the board does tends not to be set out in one place, but is implied from board committee terms of reference and other documents, such as, the Trust Constitution; Standing Financial Instructions (SFI s) and Reservation of Powers to the Board and Delegation of Powers. This suite of corporate governance documents are commonly referred to as the Corporate Governance Manual, all of which are published and available to view on the Trust s website here. 4 A summary of the role of the Board of Directors is provided below. 4. The role of the Board of Directors and how the Board conducts its business The Trust has a Board of Directors which exercises all the powers of the Trust on its behalf, but the board may delegate any of those powers to a committee of directors or to an executive director. In addition, certain decisions are made by the council of governors, and certain board of director decisions require the approval of the council of governors. The Board leads the Trust by undertaking three key roles: Formulating strategy; 4 C&I Corporate Governance Manual 5
6 Ensuring accountability by holding the Trust to account for the delivery of the strategy and through seeking assurance that systems of control are robust and reliable; and Shaping a positive culture for the board and the organisation. The general duty of NHS Boards and of each director individually, is to act with a view to promoting the success of the Trust so as to maximise the benefits for the members of the corporation as a whole and for the public. Each director also has a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and not to accept benefits from third parties (as well as to declare interests in proposed transactions or arrangements with the Trust). In fulfilling its duties, the Trust Board will work in a way that makes the best use of the skills of non-executive directors and executive directors. You can meet our current Board of Directors here. The responsibilities of the Board of Directors General The general responsibilities of the Board are: To maintain and improve quality of care; To work in partnership with service users, carers, other local health organisations, local authorities and others to provide safe, effective, well governed services; To ensure that the Trust meets its obligations to the population served, its stakeholders and its staff in a way that is wholly consistent with public sector values and probity; To ensure relationships are maintained with the Trust s service users, staff, governors, stakeholders, regulators and the public, such that the Trust can discharge its wider duties; To exercise collective responsibility for adding value to the Trust by promoting its success through direction and supervision of its affairs in a cost effective manner; and To ensure compliance with all applicable law, regulation and statutory guidance. 6
7 Leadership The Board provides active leadership to the organisation by: Ensuring there is a clear vision and strategy for the Trust that people know about and that is being implemented, within a framework of prudent and effective controls which enable risk to be assessed and managed; Ensuring the Trust is an excellent employer by the development of a workforce strategy and its appropriate implementation and operation; and Implementing effective board and committee structures and clear lines of accountability throughout the organisation. Quality Ensures that the Trust s quality of service responsibilities for safety, effectiveness and experience are achieved; Ensures the Trust meets its requirements in relation to the preparation and publication of the Trust Quality Account; Has an intolerance of poor standards and fosters a culture which places service users at the heart of everything the Trust does; and Ensures that it engages with all its stakeholders, including service users and staff on quality issues and that issues are escalated appropriately and dealt with. Strategy Sets and maintains the Trust s strategic vision, aims and objectives ensuring the necessary financial, physical and human resources are in place for it to meet its objectives; Determines the nature and extent of the risk it is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives; Monitors and reviews management performance to ensure the Trust s objectives are met; Oversees both the delivery of planned services and the 7
8 achievement of objectives, monitoring performance to ensure corrective action is taken when required; Develops and maintains a forward plan with due regard to the views of the Council of Governors, and ensures its delivery as a means of taking forward the strategy of the Trust to ensure resilience and sustainability and to meet the expectations and requirements of stakeholders; and Ensures that national policies and strategies are effectively addressed and implemented within the Trust. Culture, ethics and integrity Is responsible for setting values, ensuring they are widely communicated and embedded throughout the Trust, and that the behaviour of the Board is entirely consistent with those values. C&I s values and an accompanying video can be viewed here. Promotes a service user centred culture of openness, transparency and candour; Ensure that high standards of corporate governance and personal integrity are maintained in the conduct of Trust business; Ensures the application of appropriate ethical standards in sensitive areas such as research and development; Establishes appeals panels as required by employment policies particularly to address appeals against dismissal and final-stage grievance hearings; and Ensures that directors and staff adhere to any codes of conduct adopted or introduced from time to time.

11 Committees The practice and procedure of the meetings of the board are not set out here but are described in the board s standing orders (Annex 8 of the Trust Constitution). 6 The Board is responsible for maintaining committees of the Trust board with delegated powers as prescribed by the Trust s standing orders and delegation of powers. The Board s committee structure and respective terms of reference, decision making powers, membership and planned meeting dates are set out in a separate Board Sub-Committee Handbook available here. 7 The Standing Committees of the Board are: Audit & Risk Committee; Quality Committee; Resources Committee; Strategic Development Committee; Nominations Committee; and Remuneration Committee. Role of the Trust Chair The Trust Chair is responsible for leading and presiding over the Trust Board and the Council of Governors and for ensuring that they successfully discharge their responsibilities. The Chair is responsible for the effective running of the Board and Council of Governors and ensuring they work well together. Role of the Chief Executive The Chief Executive (CEO) reports to the Chair and to the Board directly. All members of the management structure report either directly or indirectly to the CEO. 6 C&I Trust Constitution 7 C&I Board Sub-Committee Handbook 11
12 The CEO is responsible to the Board for the running of the Trust s business and for proposing and developing the Trust s strategy and overall objectives for consideration and approval by the Board. The CEO is responsible for implementing the decisions of the Board and its committees and providing information and support to the Board and Council of Governors. Role of the Trust Company Secretary Reporting to the Chief Executive and accountable to the Chair and the Board of Directors, the Trust Company Secretary is a pivotal role within the Foundation Trust, and is responsible for guiding and supporting the Chair and governing bodies in the development of their focus through the year. The Trust Company Secretary is the lead conduit for information to the Board. As the principal advisor to the Board of Directors and Council of Governors, the Trust Company Secretary will advise the governing bodies on developments in governance and ensure their Committees are run efficiently and effectively and are properly recorded. In particular, the Trust Company Secretary: Ensures good information flows within the board of directors and its committees and between senior management, nonexecutive directors and governors; Ensures that the procedures of both the Board and the Council of Governors are complied with; Advises the Board of Directors and the Council of Governors (through the Chair) on corporate governance matters; and Is available to give advice and support to individual directors; and Oversees the induction of new directors and provides assistance with professional development. Accountability to the Council of Governors The Non-Executive Directors are accountable to the Council of Governors for the performance of the Board of Directors. In 12
13 exercising this accountability, the Non-Executive Directors are supported by their Executive Director colleagues. This accountability is exercised in a number of ways including the attendance at Governor led working groups focused on key elements of Trust business, the regular attendance at Council of Governor meetings and the provision of a range of information to governors on key areas of quality, operational and financial performance. 4. Board and organisational development The C&I Board believes strongly that fundamental to achieving the highest standards of corporate governance will be the way that it operates, its culture and behaviours. The Board has an ongoing programme of Board and organisational development and undertakes regular reviews of the collective performance of the Board. 5.
