Our trustees
A board of six trustees has ultimate legal responsibility for the project. The trustees visit the project and meet in the UK three to four times a year together with the Project Manager .
Trustees oversee the work of the project and ensure that our aims and objectives are being adhered to, that all financial arrangements are being carried out properly, and that a certain standard of health and safety is being maintained. In addition to the Trustees we also have a group of Advisors who provide support and help to their department of interest, or to the project in general.
Most of the Trustees have a specific responsibility to one department at the project which entails the following:
o Maintaining continuity of oversight.
o Encouraging and implementing agreed plans and objectives.
o Supporting the staff member by written contact and discussion.
o Receiving, reading and acknowledging monthly reports.
o Receiving, reading and acknowledging periodic summaries, and checking that these appear on the web site.
o Looking at the viability of new projects.
o Checking on staff availability.
o Assisting in the appointment of new staff where applicable.
o Facilitating the paperwork for contracts, travel details etc for new staff.
In addition the trustees are also responsible for the Project Manager who in turn is responsible to them.
