Students’ unions provide a key role in
both Higher and Further education in representing and promoting the
interests of students and providing a major part of the ‘student
experience’.
Students’ unions are already required
to comply with charity law and related regulation. With the
Charities Act 2006 now passed, students’ unions may find themselves
subject to greater regulation. The Act has brought the issues
of governance, trustees’ responsibilities and liabilities,
campaigning, trading, taxation and VAT into focus for the sector as
a whole.
Our Education team has a proven track
record with both students’ unions and the wider charity sector,
enabling us to provide a one-stop-shop for expert, efficient and
effective advice.
