We are a charity website still in development and you could really help by telling us what you think of the site. Once you have had a chance to see the site, would you take part in a very short, confidential survey? You just have to click Launch Survey (it will open in a new window). Thank you very much.
Launch the survey No thanks
The Good Governance Code is being refreshed. Have your say as part of the consultation process which ends on 24 November.
The committee have come up with revised principles under the following statement: "A good Board will provide good leadership by...." and are keen to hear the views of others.
To find out more about the Code and how you can get involved visit the Charity Commission's website. Here you can download a copy of the current Code, the revised principles and follow a link to the survey to give your feedback.
Don't miss this opportunity to have your say.
I don't know that it is useful to make such a meal of this.
We already have the Code, which people are gradually referring to and applying; this latest version uses different vocabulary and has a different set of principles etc. It is just confusing, especially for the management committees of small charities that are hard pressed to do anything other than run their organisation! I think we should stick with the original and get it more widely known.
I don't imagine I am the only one who thinks this, so I would be interested to see some other responses to this.
Our Trustee Body has used the Code to good effect and i would recommend it to any new Trustee or Trustee Board that is analysing it's own performance. It has helped our Board to focus and restructure, looking for the skillsets they have identified are missing. It may need a review, but is certainly a valuable document already.
