For today's Single Item Agenda (episode), we discuss;

• Meeting packs (meeting papers) that school governors and academy trustees receive to read in preparation for upcoming governing board meetings
• The importance of the agenda item ‘Minutes of the Previous Meeting’ and how to approach it - Don’t simply scroll, skip or skim past this paper!
• The process of taking minutes, reading and approving minutes - plus tracking the actions, including Chair’s actions, compliance actions, noting the person responsible, setting deadline dates
• What annoys clerks and governance professionals
• Neurodiversity, inclusivity and accessibility - How best to write, construct and style minutes and meeting papers to consider the readers / target audience

Thank you for tuning into our show. We appreciate you, our listeners.
