STATEMENT The Board acknowledges with concern the expressed unease of many members in response to proposals stemming from the strategic review. The Board agree that a proper and effective consultation with members should now be undertaken and requests Richard Oldham and the NCEW to agree the process and timetable. Meanwhile, no further actions will be taken that impact on governance, any loss of control of charitable funds or new relations with other organisations. No change will meantime be made in the arrangements for Dartmouth House and a working group including representation of the membership will examine the future use of the premises.
Agreed by Board of Governors and approved by AGM 18 November 2010
