Associate members only: details of their voting rights on committees
- Can't be elected as the chair or vice-chair of the governing board.
- May be excluded from any part of a meeting where the business being considered concerns a member of school staff or an individual pupil.
- Are appointed for a period between 1 and 4 years and can be reappointed at the end of their term
- May be removed from office by the board at any time
In terms of voting rights, associate members:
- Can attend full governing board meetings, but can't vote
- Can chair committees and vote in committee meetings if:
- It's been agreed by the governing board, and they are over 18
- Can't cast deciding votes in a committee if the vote is evenly split
This is set out on pages 64 to 65 of the Governance Handbook, and regulations 7, 12, 14(3), 24 and 26(6) of The School Governance (Roles, Procedures and Allowances) (England) Regulations 2013.
Your board can't delegate decisions related to staffing to committees which include associate members who are pupils or staff members. This is set out in regulation 5 of The School Governance (Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) Regulations 2015.
Associate members can't be link governors and shouldn't make school visits. This is because they aren't governors and monitoring isn't part of their role. Their purpose is to lend their expertise to the board through meetings.
They also aren't required to undergo DBS checks like regular governors, another reason they shouldn't make school visits.
