This training is about governance. Governance is the work boards do, and how they make sure organisations run well.
It is written in Easy Read and plain English. It is written to help people with intellectual disability understand how boards work. It may also help anyone who finds reading English hard.
It is good to ask someone to support you to do this training. They can help you understand the information. You can also talk to them about it.
Disclaimer:
This training has been created to help people with intellectual disability understand the most important parts of organisational governance and being a Board member—so they can participate, contribute, and carry out their responsibilities with confidence.
This training is not intended to replace full governance training. The content is based on governance information that is already publicly available, with key governance topics explained in plain English. It is also not a substitute for professional advice, legal advice, financial advice, or formal Board training.
Every organisation is different. Board members should also follow their organisation’s constitution, policies, and any relevant laws, and seek support when needed.
