New online kit for officers of charities now available
The Charities Commission has developed a new online “kit” for officers of charities. It brings together several new and updated resources, including several new resources.
The first is a “kit” (brochure) for officers, that we encourage charities to provide to each of their current officers, and to include in new officers inductions. It covers all the basics, and signposts to other places you can find help
The second new resource isa Trustee’s responsibilities information sheet. It answers some of the most commonly-asked questions
Also new are FAQs answering some of the specific questions charities have been asking. We’ll keep adding to these.
We have also introduced two quizzes, for charity officers and trustees. The first looks at all the “basics”. The second is about officer’s liabilities and obligations.
The online kit also handily includes links to our Officer Certification information sheet, which sets out the Charities Act’s requirements, and the Officer Certification form – form 2.
