Are you a Charity Trustee or CEO – would you know when to report an incident to the Charity Commission?

The Charity Knowledge Hub is proud to be working with Laurie Trounce, partner at Stephen Scown, to deliver an interactive and practical workshop designed for charity trustees and senior leaders, focusing on serious incident reporting.

Laurie heads up the Charity team and is ranked regionally and nationally in both Chambers and Legal 500 as a Leading Individual.

Given the nature of the work undertaken by charities and the challenging environment in which they work, there is a possibility that serious incidents may occur. In the event of a serious incident, the Charity Commission’s regulatory role is to ensure that charity trustees manage the incident responsibly and comply with their legal duties. In this way the charity trustees can take steps to limit the immediate impact of the incident and prevent it from happening again.

The workshop will share useful insights on the Charity Commission’s expectations, and the structure and content of the serious incident reporting form, including:

• How to identify serious incidents
• Reporting responsibilities and timeframes
• Practical tips on how to manage serious incidents
• How to make a serious incident report and the Charity Commission’s approach to them
• Learning lessons from reporting serious incidents

Laurie will be sharing her experience of working with the Charity Commission’s serious incident reporting team and dealing with regulatory issues and queries.
