• Approving Major Changes: Members may be required to approve major changes or decisions, such as converting new academies into the trust, merging with other MATs, or making significant changes to the trust's objectives.

• Holding Trustees Accountable: Members have a role in holding the trustees accountable for their actions and decisions. They can raise concerns and, in some cases, vote to remove trustees if necessary.
