The Business of Charities 2018: Risk Avoidance
With rising demand and increasingly restricted resources, charities are facing ever-growing pressure to deliver services with little or no financial support from central or local government.
The risks for charities and their trustees can be huge. There is no ''get out of jail free'' card because of being a charity.
We are holding a legal briefing on 'The Business of Charities: Risk Avoidance' which will address many of the important legal issues faced by the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. This free-to-attend briefing centres on these risks and how to avoid them... Prevention is better than cure!
Included will be:
- Risks of being a trustee and how to deal with a ''bad'' or dishonest trustee
- Trustee toolkit - what you need to know and when to involve professionals
- Trustee Indemnity Insurance
- Risks on not seeking advice on the investment of charity money
- Damage to reputation from bad PR/marketing
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): don't panic, but be prepared
- Options on setting up a charity including benefits of limited liability
- Enforcement by the Charity Commission (the "charity police'')
