For example, a private benefit flowing from CSSC’s purposes is that the organisation’s board members benefit from training which is transferable to other organisations upon the end of their appointment term. This is incidental and necessary because board members must be adequately trained to properly fulfil their responsibilities.

CSSC became operational on 1 September 2016. The organisation’s vision is: ‘The Controlled Schools’ Support Council supports controlled schools, which are open to all faiths and none, in providing high quality education for children and young people to enable them to learn, develop and grow together, within the ethos of non-denominational
Christian values and principles’.The functions of an organisation to provide support for controlled schools (now CSSC) were outlined during the education debate on 14 October 2014. The Minister for Education said “Alongside the Bill and its establishment of the Education Authority, I have also agreed with the Executive that, as part of the reorganisation of education administration, my Department will fund a new organisation to provide support for controlled schools. The functions of that body, as agreed by the Executive on 9 September 2014,will include: • providing a representational and advocacy role for controlled schools, including advice and support in responding to consultation exercises in respect of education policies,initiatives and schemes and in regard to relationships with the Department, the Education Authority and other Departments • working with schools within the sector to develop and maintain its collective ethos, including, where appropriate, a role in identifying, encouraging and nominating governors and ensuring that ethos is part of employment considerations • working with the Education Authority to raise educational standards; participating in the planning of the schools estate; assessing ongoing provision within the sector • participating in area-based planning coordinated by DE and the Education Authority, including membership of the Department's area planning steering group • engaging, where appropriate, in strategic planning processes, including community planning • building cooperation and engaging with other sectors on matters of mutual interest, including the promotion of tolerance and understanding
