• TFG - Council

  • Some very basic assumptions

    But first - a reminder of the context.

    For the Members and Fellows, Council - which I think will lead on the profession (medicine and membership) will rightly be the most important body.

    But charity law, the Charity Commission and the government all focus on the Trustees, because they are the people with the legal duties and responsibilities.

    So to get the governing documents sorted, we have to do this work in a slightly topsy-turvy way round, ie consider the detail of the Trustees first, and then Council.

    I have set out a few thoughts below - please let me know what you think, through the feedback form at the bottom of this page.

    Basic assumption: the purpose of the CICM Council

    I think this could be something like

    "Council shall have oversight of all clinical, professional and health policy matters and may exercise such other functions as are delegated to it by the Board of Trustees, subject to any restrictions imposed by the governing documents"

    We are lined up to discuss this in January, but of course, please feel warmly welcome to give feedback now (at the bottom of this page)

    Basic assumption: Council composition

    I don't have any assumptions about this yet, except that a substantial proportion of Council will continue to be elected by the Members and Fellows, and that there will be representation from relevant bodies.

    Basic assumption: Council Terms of Office

    Because this is inextricably linked to Trustee Terms of Office, there is a section on this in the Trustee Terms of Office page here.

    Basic assumption: Council - everything else

    I don't have any assumptions here yet either - except a commitment to ensuring that Council is the lead on the profession, and that Council members feel that their role is fulfilling and respected.
