the Awarding Body and Access Validating Agency licences
Their key purpose is to formulate strategic aims, ensure policies and practice are in keeping with the objects of Agored Cymru as legally constituted and aim for best practice in exercising its statutory and regulatory responsibilities and legal functions.
The Board of Trustees hold the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team to account for the organisation’s mission and vision, and implementation of the agreed Business Strategy.

▪ Provide challenge and support to the CEO and Senior Management Team in the delivery of their objectives and the achievement of key performance indicators.
▪ Promote Equality, Diversity and Inclusion though positive action.
▪ Provide guidance on issues in which the Trustee has specific expertise.
The Trustee will be expected to perform all such additional duties as are reasonably
commensurate with the role.
