Board meetings and reports

Our board meets regularly to discuss our work. We are committed to openness and transparency. The board conducts as much of its business as possible in a session that the public are welcome to attend and observe.

Public board meetings

Public board meetings are open to the general public. You can attend in-person or online via Microsoft Teams.

Items discussed in public board usually include:

  • policies, reports and strategic plans
  • committee reports
  • strategic risk register
  • staff survey results

We aim to publish the agenda and meeting papers 5 working days before each meeting. These will be published under board papers.

Please do not record the meeting using an electronic device. This includes phones and screen-recording. You can take written notes. If you would like to record a session, you will need to request this before the meeting.

Submitting questions for the board

If there is time at the end of the meeting, the Chairperson will invite members of the public to address the board or ask a question. The questions will be addressed by the Chairperson. If it is appropriate, your question answered by a relevant member of the board.

Questions should be about matters under consideration or matters of public interest.

We may not be able to answer a question fully in a public session. For example, if it may disclose personal details. Responses to questions will either be:

  • posted on this webpage
  • included in the published minutes

Wherever possible, please email questions to the board in advance. This helps us to find the relevant information to answer your question.

Email questions to ccs.groupboard@nhs.net 

When sending a question, please use the subject heading 'Trust Board meeting question'.

Private board meetings

There are board meetings that are closed to press and the general public.

We will only discuss items in private session to protect confidentiality. This includes:

  • cases that may identify people who use our services, carers or staff members
  • commercially-sensitive information and legal advice

Governance Manual

The Governance Manual provides a comprehensive summary of the corporate governance framework and practices in place for the Trust Board and its committees.

The Trust Board adopted the Governance Manual on 1 April 2026. This document will be subject to regular review and update throughout the coming year.
