All Independent Board members will take up appointment in February and tenures have been staggered with members being offered two or three year terms.


Following a request from the Chair and Chief Executive, I have also agreed to a change in some of the dates for the new organisation’s establishment. In the first six months of the 2018/19 financial year, HEIW will now operate in shadow form. The advice from my Programme Board and the HEIW leadership has been that a six month shadow period would allow the new organisation to develop its governance and operational processes, and to work with staff and stakeholders to prepare for the important work ahead.
