Governance
We are governed by a committee of representatives from our network member organisations and an Independent Chair. Our committee members are elected by our members, for our members. Meeting monthly, the LATAN Committee share their knowledge, skills, and a commitment to working collaboratively to ensure the network is effective and working to its aims. Our committee is made up of:
​
-
No more than 8 Advice Provider members
-
No more than 4 Gateway members
-
An Independent Chair
-
A non-voting representative from the accountable body (Citizens Advice Liverpool)
​
LATAN has a Terms of Reference document that sets out our aims, membership structure and governance details.
​
As LATAN isn’t a separate legal entity, we have an accountable body that can enter into contracts on our behalf. Our accountable body is Citizens Advice Liverpool, who employ our staff, provide our equipment and space for us to work, manage our finances, and provide a range of support on practicalities like IT, marketing and communications.
