Multi academy trust (MAT) board external review

This review is designed for trust boards of multi-academy trusts (MATs) to support accurate self-evaluation of governance. It aims to give you the confidence that your governance arrangements are robust and will withstand external scrutiny.

It will enable you to demonstrate appropriate levels of engagement, responsibility and accountability and that you are focusing your time and energy in the appropriate areas to achieve success. The review is based on the six areas of competency within the DfE’s Competency Framework for Governance (Jan 2017) and the developmental questions within the DfE’s MAT Development Programme 2018.
