The Centre for Partnership is the only organisation in the UK that has developed an accredited governance standard which measures organisations against best governance practice.
The Centre for Partnership's Governance Standard has been endorsed by Stephen Bull, Head of Governance and Company Secretary, National Housing Federation.
The Governance Standard is applicable to any organisation in the public, private, or not-for-profit sector.
Our aim is for the Governance Standard to be the UK's leading governance model.
The Governance Standard is not just a tick box exercise. We believe that focusing on tick boxes stifles innovation and ignores good practice.
The Centre for Partnership will help you achieve excellent governance standards and reap the benefits of accreditation by enabling you to release the energy and talents in your organisation.
Who is The Governance Standard aimed at?
The Governance Standard is aimed at anyone who plays a role in your governance structure, including your board of directors or trustees; chief executive; company secretary or governance officers.
The Governance Standard is aimed at any organisation, including the public sector, private companies, public companies, charities, non-governmental organisations and partnerships.
Our experience in working with organisations is that there is always room for improvement with governance.
Julie Kelly, Assistant Chief Executive, Gentoo Group Ltd "The Governance Standard is easy to use and the approach of the Centre for Partnership has been most helpful in enabling us to implement the Governance Standard for ourselves. The Group Chairman and myself would recommend the Governance Standard to any organisation that is serious about achieving excellence in governance."
Paul Davies, Chief Executive, Eden Housing Association "The Governance Standard chimes with the emerging changes in the regulatory environment and provides us with a vitally important framework for ensuring effective self-regulation which is externally accredited. The practical, easy to use approach makes it accessible and provides the information and analysis we need to make improvements in our governance."
Ruby Bhatti, Chair, Manningham Housing Association" Working in an inner city, we serve a diverse community and ensure diversity underpins our governance arrangements. The Governance Standard enables us to take account of, and act upon, all aspects of governance and demonstrate to the TSA and other stakeholders that we are taking governance seriously."
