Hi All

I got the reply below when I asked the question about BR and being a governor, not sure what it means can someone advise.I ask this on here as i am having probs logging onot the BR site.




Paragraph 6 of Schedule 6 of the constitution regulations is clear about this:

"6. A person is disqualified from holding or continuing to hold office as a governor of a school
if—
(a) his estate has been sequestrated and the sequestration has not been discharged, annulled
or reduced; or
(b) he is the subject of a bankruptcy restrictions order or an interim order."

Being bankrupt does not disqualify a person from being a governor, but being subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order (or equilvalent interim order) does. The GB has absolutely no discretion in this area.


Thanks

John

I was reading the BR site and I understood that if you are given a BRO/BRU you are not allowed to be a governer but if BR without the above you can be.

Hi
I agree with Freelili, as long as you have no bankruptcy restriction order then you are fine to be a Governor if you are bankrupt

Sequestration is bankruptcy in Scotland.

I became a school governor just after entering into my IVA six years ago. The IVA didnt affect it in anyway and I was also Chair of Governors for two years.
Now That I have finished the IVA I have also moved onto Governorship of a second school
