The guide seeks to support ITPs to understand how effective governance works and to implement effective governance in your organisation. 
ITPs come in all shapes and sizes and may be run for profit or as charities. The criteria for good governance remain the same across all types of ITP but the terminology may be slightly different.  Your provision may be large with at least one non-executive director (NED) on the Board, a mid-sized organisation with no NEDs but with an Executive Board or it may be a small ITP with no formal Board with Board Members fulfilling executive and operational roles.
