Our Policies

We exist solely to serve our mission and the communities who trust us. Transparency is therefore more than a legal obligation. It is the foundation of our credibility. We publish our policies so that every stakeholder can see how decisions are made, resources are allocated, and risks are managed. Clear, accessible documentation invites scrutiny, sparks constructive dialogue, and keeps us accountable to the public good. 


As a new organisation, we are preparing our first releases and mobilising our governance structure which began in May 2025 and runs until the first annual general meeting (AGM) in October 2025. The timeline runs concurrent and is aligned with the Midlands Campus Programme.  We have included a timeline for these releases below. 


You can explore the releases available to view by scrolling on this page or by using the Transparency menu option above.
