Home Office Senior Management Board

Group Executive Board
The GEB has responsibility for leading the Home Office Group, including its agencies, to ensure that it delivers on the aims set by Ministers, builds its capability for the future, and maintains high standards of propriety. Membership details are given below.

Non-Executive Directors
The Non-Executive Directors were appointed in 2002 to bring a fresh, external approach to decision making on the Board. They provide an independent judgement on issues of strategy, planning, performance, and standards of conduct.  Their presence allows Board proposals and reactions to be challenged in a strategic and open manner. Although they advise and question, they do not make executive decisions, and they remain independent of management, and free from any other relationships within government that might interfere with their role. Membership details are given below.
