Speakers: Richard Harman, Chief Executive, AGBIS; and Simon Hyde, General Secretary, HMC

This session will enable participants to gain a clear understanding of:

• the importance of contracting – on paper and in other ways – at the beginning of the relationship between the new head and Chair.
• setting up structures to support the head, for example coaching, appraisal, and professional development
• the role of the head, and (for heads) the role of Governors in providing support and challenge
• what might go wrong and why, and what to do if things are going wrong
