Project Success Story - Governance Effectiveness Review at Royal Holloway University of London

Governance was in transition at the Royal Holloway University of London, reflecting the evolving nature and pace of the landscape in which it operates, and this prompted a review of the effectiveness of its governance. This found that the performance of the University had been positive overall but elements of governance which could be improved considerably in some areas were identified.

The review followed new and specific expectations from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Office for Students (OfS) in recent years, with increased responsibilities on governing bodies to understand management issues and activities.
