easily so that young people get the inspiration and guidance they need to leave school

people also have an important role to play in school governance, bringing a range
of transferable skills to help governing bodies carry out their demanding strategic
functions. In May 2014 we launched the Inspiring Governors Alliance to bring together
all organisations with a role to play in increasing both demand for and supply of
high quality governors, particularly from the world of work. We have awarded £1m of
funding in 2015-16 to embed a strategic partnership between SGOSS, Governors for Schools
and the Education and Employers’ Taskforce at the heart of the alliance to engage
employers and help schools find the high quality governors they need.</p><p> </p>
