Governance and policy

STFC governance

All public sector organisations, such as STFC, need explicit arrangements for their internal governance, alongside appropriate accountability procedures. It is therefore a requirement of STFC to make, and then periodically review, decisions about how the organisation operates.

Our newly available Governance Manual (link opens in a new window) assists STFC in delivering cutting edge science and world leading technology by clarifying standards of governance, management and leadership, reinforcing STFC’s commitment to good governance.

We aim to continually update and improve this manual, and would welcome feedback via the “feedback” and “comments” links contained within the Manual.
