Parent governors - new regs on constitution??

Can anyone point me in the direction of a publicly available copy of what are apparently "new regulations" on the constitution of governing bodies which now limit the number of parent govs to a max of 2.
The most recent statutory guidance on the constitution of governing bodies that I can find is from Aug 2015 and states "at least 2 parent govs".
Thanks all!

Sorry - I've managed to confuse myself with switching between the maintained school regulations and the federation regulations. Cluelessclaudia is not clueless at all. They have reduced it from one parent governor per school to two parent governors in total for a federation.

That's really interesting! It is indeed the case that only one local authority governor and only one staff governor is allowed. But it was a minimum of 2 parent governors before. We have more than 2. So does that mean that in September we have to reconstitute and reduce that to 2? We are a federation.

Yes. From 1 September. However at the moment for federations it isn't a minimum of two patent governors, it's one per school in the federation. You can't have more than two now if there are only two schools in the federation. At least that's how I read it.

Ooops. Just created a new category, patent governors. I expect they're all shiny Wink

Cluelessclaudia is again right. The previous figure was one per school in the federation. That was not a minimum. If there are 3 schools in the federation you can have 3 parent governors - no more, no less.
