Governing body self review
Ealing LA recommends that every governing body (GB) should regularly evaluate and reflect on their practice and performance.
To assist GBs evaluate their practice and performance, we have developed the effective GB self review tool.
The aim of this comprehensive tool is to assist GBs to:
- decide on how well they are organised
- exercise their powers and duties
- identify gaps in practice/performance that require action
- identify development needs and to plan future training
It covers all the essential work an outstanding GB undertakes.

- clearly demonstrate how it undertakes its key roles
- identify how it needs to develop its skills to fulfil all of its statutory and good practice requirements
