The Co-optees have brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise which in turn has assisted both Committees and Board in becoming more diverse thus achieving a strategic objective for the CRC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other examples are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The creation \/ implementation of a new Board Diversity Policy;<\/li>\n<li>11 Board members &#8211; 6 male\/5 female;<\/li>\n<li>7 Co-optees &#8211; 4 male\/3 female;<\/li>\n<li>Our Board have different backgrounds, qualifications and life experiences;<\/li>\n<li>Board and Chairperson Recruitment includes a skills gap analysis on Board \/Committees; enhancing advertising for the roles including third party organisations and social media to reach a more diverse audience;<\/li>\n<li>The extension of advertising campaign for Board roles to Adult Services Group &amp; Parents Forum to encourage participation at Board level from our service users\/clients;<\/li>\n<li>Presentations to Board by CRC departments \/ clients; Board member attendance at Adult Services User Council Meetings \/Parents Forum<\/li>\n<li>Updating succession Planning Guidelines \u2013 looking at expertise of Board, its committees &amp; consideration of Co-Optees as potential Board members in the future, with preservation of corporate memory in mind;<\/li>\n<li>Developing Co-optee Guidelines for the appointment of external co-optees<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>What has been achieved\/how has governance been improved as a result of taking the governance improvement initiative?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>CRC has achieved more diverse committees from appointing external co-optees.<\/li>\n<li>Committees now have a broader range of skills\/experience as a result of their membership not being restricted to Board members only.<\/li>\n<li>The addition of co-optees adds to the diversity, experience and knowledge of the organisation bringing independence and objectivity to the discussions\/deliberations of the committee structure that enriches the Board decisions. It also adds an external opinion and rigor to the committee structure.<\/li>\n<li>Co-optees were engaged from broad range of backgrounds\/skill sets from the academic and health sector, private sector and charity sector.<\/li>\n<li>Co-optees come to the Committee meetings independent of any former knowledge of previous decisions \/discussions held at Board level therefore adding an independent, impartial perspective.<\/li>\n<li>The benefit of the addition of the co-optees members to the CRC Committees has been seen in the following examples:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Capital Projects and Infrastructure<\/strong> \u2013 the CRC is undergoing substantial review of its capital projects and with limited resources and expertise in the area of property management, the co-optee member, a Chartered Surveyor, with over 17 years\u2019 experience in the property industry, has provided invaluable assistance including sharing his contacts, asset management register maintenance and contract negotiation advice and assistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remuneration &amp; Nominations<\/strong>: this Committee co-optees background is in Human Resources and was a senior executive in a large bank. They have proven invaluable in assisting with human resource matters and enhanced the achievement of the Human Resource Strategic Objective considerably.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality, Safety and Risk (QSR)<\/strong>: this Committee co-optee comes from an academic and healthcare background and brings a fresh perspective in terms of her thinking and experience.

They sit on both the Audit and Investment Committee; their input includs re-drafting the Investment Policy Reserves Policy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fundraising: <\/strong>Two new co-optees, backgrounds in Charity Fundraising and Marketing, both have assisted greatly by: sharing industry contacts, marketing\/branding advice; development of corporate campaign<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research:<\/strong> Co-optees from UCD and DCU are invested in supporting and directing research and development strategy for CRC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Compliance with the <em>HSE Annual Compliance Statement 2019 -Section 38 Providers &#8211; Part 2 &#8211; Board and Governance Arrangements<\/em><br \/>\n<em><u>Membership of each committee should comprise of non-executive and independent members<\/u><\/em><em><u>. <\/u><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Compliance with the <em>Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies &#8211; <\/em><em>Audit and Risk Committee \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0 7.12 Audit and Risk Committee<\/em><strong>:<br \/>\n<\/strong><em><u>It is recommended for an Audit and Risk Committee to have members drawn from outside the Board.<\/u><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Compliance with <em>Charities Governance Cod<\/em>e- <em>Principle 5 \u2013 Working Effectively <\/em>5.13.
