The Charity Commission has Launched a Consultation on Updated Guidance for Trustees
The Charity Commission is consulting on a draft updated Essential Trustee Guidance (CC3). The purpose of the new guidance is to make it clearer that the Charity Commission expects trustees to comply with good practice.
Jane Hobson, head of policy at the Charity Commission commented that “It’s a case of trustees understanding that ‘should’ means ‘really should’ – not ‘maybe, if you feel like it”. If trustees do not follow the specified good practice, they may be in breach of their legal duties and held responsible for any loss the charity incurs.
The Charity Commission is keen to receive comments on any aspect of the draft guidance and have outlined specific questions they would welcome comments on. Please follow the link below to respond to the consultation which closes on 17 February 2015.
