Our Corporation
HNC’s Corporation is in essence the College’s Governing Body. The priority of the Corporation is to make sure that we succeed in our vision of opening minds, embracing difference and empowering one another to shape a better future. This is achieved by both supporting and challenging HNC as an organisation. Whilst the Corporation is not responsible for the ‘day to day running’ of HNC, the group has final responsibility for aspects such as:
- determining the College’s educational character and mission;
- approving the College’s quality strategy;
- ensuring the College’s solvency by monitoring its effective and efficient use of resources and the security of its assets;
- approving annual estimates of income and expenditure; appointing holders of senior posts and setting their pay and conditions of service;
- setting a framework for the pay and conditions of service of all other staff
This of course covers a number of critical responsibilities, therefore the Corporation has a number of Committees that take responsibility for working with senior leaders to enhance everything we do by focussing on key areas for improvement.
The College’s Corporation comprises of representatives from industry and commerce, the Local Authority, the local community, the Principal, members of staff, students and parents of students. Some members are appointed directly by the Corporation and some are elected by the staff and students of the college. All Governors serve in a voluntary capacity.
