Committee of Management

The Committee of Management (CoM) is the operational body for the Codes and has overall operational responsibility for their functioning and, as such, it is the largest of the Governance bodies. Its membership consists of:

  • Representatives of members of both Codes who are operating 2,000 or more bed spaces

  • Representatives of other members of the Codes operating less than 2,000 bed spaces

  • Nominees from sector-wide stakeholder organisations, professional bodies and Government departments

  • Nominees from the three founding organisations (ANUK, NUS and Unipol)

Its role is to:

  • Appoint a Chair and Deputy Chair of the CoM who shall serve a term of three years and who can be removed by a two-thirds majority vote of the CoM

  • Appoint the Tribunal membership, excluding the Chair and two Vice Chairs, which shall serve for three years, and which can be removed by a two-thirds majority vote of the CoM

  • Review the Codes from time to time and make recommendations to the Consortium on changes to them

  • Approve the operational framework within which the Codes work, deciding on how membership is to take effect and how to publicise the Codes to both owners and tenants

  • Commission and approve an Annual Report to be presented to the Government (currently the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government) on the operation and development of the Codes

  • Receive an annual report on the financial viability of the Codes

  • Establish any special task groups to address and consider any issues or concerns it has in managing and developing the Codes.

The Committee of Management meets three times a year.
