Ian Usher, ModernGovernor.com A succinct, and fascinating, document on the many challenges we have faced as 'Hidden Givers' over the last few years. The changing landscape of legislation is fully captured along with the increased accountability measures the largest volunteer workforce in the country attempts to meet whilst remaining focused on improvement in their schools. Jane Owens, National Leader of Governance, Wirral Expertly explores the key issues surrounding modern school governance by combining analysis of recent developments with findings from Baxter's own research into governors' sense-making. A stimulating and informative read for anyone interested in school governance and leadership. Ellie Cotgrave, Research and Projects Manager, National Governors' Association
