How we are governed
In 2007, Diabetes UK’s governance arrangements were reviewed. The aim of the Governance Review was ‘to examine existing governance arrangements to ensure that they are representative, effective and provide value for money’.
The charity’s overriding objectives for initiating the review were:

-
To identify the enablers and barriers to enhancing the representation, accountability and effectiveness of the Board.
-
To benchmark the Charity’s approaches against other large membership charities to ensure its practice remains ‘ahead of the pack’.
-
