Council skills audit
The purpose of this exercise is two-fold:
- to better understand the skills, knowledge, and experience we have on our Board, and what (if any) are missing
- to understand how Trustees/council members are best placed to offer support
This is not intended to be an assessment of value or worth. Your individual answers won’t be shared, though it may be useful to discuss the results of the exercise in its totality with the Board as a whole.
This audit format was created by NCVO, and the skills mostly come from their template.
Please consider each skill in turn, and decide whether you have:
expertise (I have a deep knowledge of this and would consider myself an expert)
experience (I have experience of this and would feel comfortable that I could advise in this area)
some understanding (I know about this. I could contribute but would not advise on this), or
no experience (I do not know about this and have little or no experience in this).
