Fit and Proper Persons check 

A rigorous process is in place for University Leadership Board roles and the Board of Governors, to identify any potential conflicts of interest that new and existing Governors or senior employees may have. Candidates are required to complete a formal ‘fit and proper person’ check prior to appointment, and this will be repeated every 3 years once in post. 

Why is there a 'fit and proper persons' check? 

The fit and proper persons check exists to ensure that our management arrangements do not present a risk to students or to public funds, and enables us to demonstrate to the OfS that we are meeting a key condition of our initial and ongoing registration.

An individual is 'a fit and proper person' if they ensure, or are likely to ensure, that the university’s funds are used for the purposes for which they were given. The check will include a Companies House check for directorships to ensure that there are no concerns and other elements of the OfS’s Public Interest Governance Principles.
