The SSC Handbook
​A Guide explaining the role, responsibilities, and expectations of the SSC and of individual SSC Members (The Avanti Governance Handbook) is available via the link. I hope you will find this helpful and of interest.​
​
The Guide also provides details of the skills and attributes required of an SSC Member. The overriding requirement is simple: a genuine interest and commitment to the wellbeing and educational development of young people.
​
