About this publication

Text

Outlining the benefits of effective board reporting, this good practice guide considers key principles for three different types of report and reflects upon the role of sub-committees in effective reporting.

The guide also includes additional features such as a sample board committee calendar which provides a possible format setting out agendas and how they fit with the main board. There are also suggestions about the format of a quarterly ‘quality governance’ report to the board.

This publication is part of Hospice UK’s Governance Support Programme for hospice boards and trustees.
