1.1 The NCVO Code of Good Governance (the Code) is the cornerstone of the Trust’s governing documents, as represented in the schematic below. The Key Principles of the Code are;

  • Board Leadership
  • The Board in control
  • The High Performance Board
  • Board Review and Renewal
  • Board Delegation
  • Board and trustee Integrity
  • Board Openness

1.2 In addition to the various Acts of Parliament that set the Trust’s charitable object, the Trust is also governed by the Constitution of Haringey Council and its Trustees are covered by the Haringey Council Code of Conduct for Members. The Trust is also subject to the regulations and Standing Orders of Haringey Council in relation to certain financial and procurement matters.

1.3 The Code forms the cornerstone of the Trust’s Governing Documents, the whole suite of which forms the Trustee Handbook.

The suite of document is modular in the sense that as and when individual policy or procedure documents are updated, they are provided to the Trustees and staff at Alexandra Park & palace and they are slotted into the Trustee Handbook.
