Trustees’ Responsibilities & Roles
What do charity trustees need to know and do? Good governance and operational oversight made easier, using examples, scenario discussion and with after-course written guides.
Attendees should ask questions about being a trustee and questions about your group’s governance; answers will be provided (or researched and answered later).
The course covers all these topics and more, and is suitable for first-time trustees as well as those longer-standing.

- Conflicts of Interest & Loyalty and how to manage those
- Reporting requirements for charities; responsibilities of trustees
- Your own regulating: policies & procedures
- Trustee roles: how should you act and how can you leave.
