Handover is one of the most important aspects of running your group. Key information and advice needs to be passed on to incoming committees to ensure consistency for the running of your group and for your members. 

Handover can and should take many different forms but may include: 

• A handover document that can be referred to throughout the year.
• One-to-one role handover meetings to discuss the role in detail.
• Group handover meetings to discuss general advice, ideas and strategic planning.
• Shadowing and/or joint working opportunities for an incoming committee member to learn processes.
• Introducing an incoming committee member to key contacts.
• Sharing useful files such as feedback, event plans, financial records and marketing resources.

We are happy to attend and provide advice at handover meetings if this would be helpful for your group.  

Similarly, you might find it helpful to book a Development Meeting with us where the incoming and outgoing committees are both present or to send us a handover document for us to review.
