<p>The expectations around performance monitoring of public appointment holders are
set out in the Governance Code on Public Appointments published by the Cabinet Office.

are reflected in the terms on which the Chair is appointed by the Secretary of State.

with the Permanent Secretary.</p><p> </p><p>Also under these terms, the Chair will
share a copy of his own objectives, and have a discussion to review progress at least

effectiveness.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Chair is also expected to adhere to
the highest personal and professional standards, in accordance with the Nolan principles
