GovernorLine is the professional helpline offering telephone support to school governors, clerks and individuals involved directly with issues of school governance in England.
GovernorLine Practice Terms and Conditions
We offer free, independent and information and support on education law and recognised good practice within maintained schools in England.
The service is completely confidential between caller and adviser.
All calls are logged with the recording of key issues raised to allow the creation of information which can inform policy and help in training of and guidance for school governors.
GovernorLine can help ensure that governors:
- understand the principles of fairness, equality and recognised good practice
- promote positive and constructive industrial relations
- adhere to sound and effective employment practises and procedures
- are aware of, and follow, procedures laid down for their own school correctly at all times
- better understand the role of trades unions in schools
- are empowered to make objective decisions based on the facts of a situation
Please note that we can only give advice direct to an individual governor, who may, of course, call on behalf on an entire governing body. We cannot give advice to consultants instructed to act on behalf of a board of Governors.
The opinions expressed by the GovernorLine advisory team are based solely upon the information and facts which have been provided to them by callers. GovernorLine cannot accept liability for any third party losses or actions caused by the reliance upon the advice given by the GovernorLine team.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the information contained on this site is accurate and up to date, GovernorLine users should take appropriate steps to verify such information before taking action.
