A scheme of delegation sets out who makes decisions and carries functions on your board
Tasks are usually delegated to:
- The governing board
- Committees
- If you follow the 'circle model' of governance and have no committees, you could delegate tasks to link governors, monitoring pairs or set up working parties for short-term issues
- Individual governors
- The headteacher
There are some things you can't delegate
Read the full list of what can and can't be delegated in our other article, Committees: what they are and what they do (scroll down to the section 'rules and restrictions on delegation').
