Declared Conflicts of Interest Register

This register records the business interests of our governing board. A conflict of interest exists where a Member, Director or Local Governing Board member’s personal interests or loyalties could, or could be seen to prevent them making a decision which is in the best
interest of the Charitable Trust. 

The Trust will maintain a register of relevant pecuniary interests for Members, Trustees and key staff, who are involved in financial management or in a decision making position within the Charitable Trust.

This register will be open to inspection and easily accessible at all times. 

Where necessary we will seek the ESFA’s prior approval for transactions with connected parties that are novel and/or contentious.
