| Associate members are not Governors but are appointed by the Governing board to bring expertise and experience in specific areas to committees. They may be appointed for a period of between one and four years. They may attend full Governing board meetings and, if they are over 18, the Governing board may grant voting rights at committee meetings. |
| Parent governors are not delegates and do not speak 'on behalf' of the parent body, but bring a parental perspective to the issues discussed.
Understanding parents' opinion helps the board to make good decisions and helps guarantee that there is a link between governance and the parent community.
They are not elected to the board, not appointed.

The presence of Link Governors provides and additional source of evidence upon which governing decisions can be made. This additional evidence should enable the Governing Body to better challenge information presented by the school and also better support the school to meet its strategic object. The role of the 'Link Governor' is not to supervise or manage school staff; this is the responsibility of the Head Teacher and senior staff.
