In accordance with Government Guidance for the setting up of Arms Length Management Organisations, the organisation’s board of non-executive directors has equal representation of tenant and independent members and council nominees: six tenant members, six independent members and six council nominees.

Tenant members are selected from the three areas of the city and appointed by the Board following an application and interview process.  In the event that there are two successful candidates for one particular area, then a ballot will be held in that area.  Independent members are selected by the Board  following and application and interview process and council nominees and appointed and removed by Newcastle City Council.

The operational day to day running of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive and his Executive Team through the organisation’s Scheme of Delegations.

The organisation signs up to the Good Governance Standard for Public Services. Our corporate governance arrangements are set out in the Governance Handbook, a copy of which is issued to all board members.

The Board has set up four committees with clear terms of reference setting out their functions and delegations.  The committees are: Audit, Finance and Resources, Customer and Service Delivery, and Performance.
