Board Paper Date Title Report Author Responsible Executive Director Paper for

The Board and ARAC meeting schedules were previously misaligned, which impacted negatively on the timeliness of the ARAC’s reporting to the Board. [...] The 2023-24 meeting schedule sought to mitigate this, but the availability of ARAC members (and additional attendees), changes in the finance team and the timeliness of financial reporting meant the benefit of the new schedule was not realised. [...] In addition to the ordinary meetings, and the placeholders for extraordinary meetings, there will be three two day-long Board strategy days, in line with the agreed Board Effectiveness Review action plan. [...] The first will take place in May 2024 in Worcester, the second in November 2024 in Northern Ireland and the third in March 2025. [...] Once the Board meetings are in place, the dates and timelines will be communicated with the wider organisation.
