The effectiveness and commitment of any
charity's trustee body is critical to its success. Trustees must
have the skills and attributes that will best serve the
organisation. They must be effectively recruited and inducted and
have a framework of training support, accountability, terms of
reference and role descriptions that help them to stay highly
motivated while recognising that their time is voluntarily
given.
If issues do arise in
relation to trustees, our charity lawyers can help. We have advised
on:
- the management of conflicts of interest (and
supporting documentation)
- a trustee performing below standard and the
eventual removal of a trustee
- trustee disagreements as to policy
- governance dysfunction arising from failure to
understand the different roles of the board and the executive
In addition we also provide an on-going programme
of trustee induction
and refresher training designed to help your
charity comply with best practice to induct and refresh trustees.
Informative and interactive, our training courses are run in
Southampton, Oxford and London. For larger organisations, we may be able
to run in-house training. Please get in touch with us to find out
more.
