Composition of NCOGS
Members of the National Committee represent several regional groups. Each is elected for 2 years with the option for re-election.
Others with an interest in governance may be co-opted by the regional members; current regular attendees include representatives of the DfE and CSN.
Funding of NCOGS
The national committee is not an ‘organisation' in its own right. Funding is minimal and confined largely to the administration and travel costs associated with meetings. All regions contribute equally and on an annual basis.
Role of NCOGS
The main activity for co-ordinators takes place at a regional level. The key roles for the national committee are to facilitate strategic communication and to promote high quality provision.
The main ways this is done are by:
- Disseminating good practice in training, materials and support services, identifying common themes or issues emerging from the regions
- Representing the regions in discussions with national bodies ensuring views of the regions are effectively reported
- Communicating outcomes of national level meetings to the regions speedily and succinctly
- Collating management information such as benchmarking data to support continuous improvement of services
- Seeking to influence national bodies and key players on governance issues.
