Assurance Framework

Our Assurance Framework sets out in more detail how we make decisions.  It is a comprehensive document which is reviewed annually to ensure it is compliant with the Government’s National Assurance Framework for LEPs.

Each year LEPs issue a statement on the status of governance and transparency, the first statement for the HEY LEP can be found here APR Annex C HEY LEP
