charity trustee induction and refresher training
details
This course is designed to assist compliance with best practice
to induct and refresh charity trustees so that they can make a full
contribution as a trustee of your charity. Charity chief
executives and senior managers concerned with governance, along
with charitable independent school and academy trust company
governors, are all very welcome.
Trustees must know and understand:
- their role in your charity
- their legal and ethical responsibilities
- that they are accountable for their actions
The Charity Commission for its part wants to know what efforts
charities have made to ensure that trustees are trained and
inducted to fulfil their role as trustee and expect details to be
included in the Annual Report.
This course is run on a rolling programme basis to
enable you to plan for trustee succession and include it in your
annual training programme, and comply with best practice and
reporting.

This was time and money well spent, and it
