Our governance framework sets out how MAST is led, overseen and held to account.

The documents on this page provide the formal framework for decision-making across the Trust and explain the respective responsibilities of Members, Trustees, Board committees and Local Governing Bodies.

They are published to support transparency, accountability and a clear understanding of how governance operates across MAST.

Documents available here include:

• Articles of Association
• Master Funding Agreement and Supplemental Funding Agreements
• Scheme of Delegation
• Committee Terms of Reference
• Local Governing Body Terms of Reference
• Trustee and Governor Code of Conduct
• other key governance documents

We review these documents regularly to ensure they remain current and reflect the way governance operates across the Trust.

If you would like further information about governance at MAST, please contact the Trust’s Governance Professional.

Copies of approved minutes, agendas and papers of meetings of the Trust Board and its committees are available for public inspection on request, subject to the exclusion of confidential information.
