Governance

Good governance is a cornerstone of our approach to business and all of our Board and staff members are responsible for maintaining our performance. We have an effective governance framework in place with high standards on audit, risk, probity, governance and health and safety.  

ng homes is run by a voluntary Board.  It has a maximum of 15 places; 9 designated for local community members, up to 5 places for independent members and 1 place for a nominated Glasgow City Council elected member. The Board is the governing body that controls ng homes. The Board is responsible for the strategic direction, setting standards, monitoring performance and the effective running and financial management of ng homes and is the employer body, with senior staff accountable to the Board.
