Our principles
As part of our preparations for submission for registration to the Office for Students, we require updated information from all members of the Board of Governors.
As a member of the Board of Governors, it is a requirement that you commit to the seven principles of Public Life (The Nolan Principles) and that you self-declare as a ‘fit and proper’ person (see appendix for definition). The purpose of the ‘fit and proper’ test is to ensure the ownership and management arrangements for a University are appropriate and do not present a risk to students or to public funds. Please note the following principles and refer to the website for further information.
Seven principles
- selflessness
- integrity
- objectivity
- accountability
- honesty
- transparency
- leadership
