We offer a full induction process for new Committee Members to ensure their contribution to Castlehill is fully supported. Training is provided to keep them up to date with all current governance issues and regulatory requirements. There is a review process, which gives feedback on the effectiveness of contributions and provides a skills audit that identifies any potential development areas that may need to be addressed.
