Public body boards succession planning: toolkit

Toolkit of information and examples of good practice to help public bodies with developing their board succession plans.


It is up to each public body to decide which elements of the toolkit (if any) are most likely to be of assistance to them at different points of time, and to determine what is likely to work best for them in relation to succession planning.

There is no requirement for public bodies to use any element of the toolkit.
