We have progressed Freeports in Scotland and Wales; however, the governance situation in Northern Ireland has so far prevented UKG and the Northern Ireland Executive from agreeing a Freeport offer in Northern Ireland and application process.

tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL2544
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2015 answer text <p>The Governors’ Handbook makes clear that meaningful and effective engagement between the board of an academy and parents is vital. Governing boards should ensure that appropriate structures and arrangements are in place for parental engagement and focus the membership of the board on individuals with the necessary skills for this important strategic role.</p><br /><p>The Department for Education’s model articles of association for academy trusts require there to be two parents on the board, or in the case of a multi-academy trust, either on the board or on each local governing body. In general, however, the government believes that academy trusts are best placed to decide for themselves on the governance arrangements that will be most effective for them and their schools. Skilled and experienced parents can provide a pool of potential volunteers for trusts to draw on. Parents are also often closely involved in setting up and running free schools.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 26/10/2015 12:37:59 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
