There is a change in the climate when it comes to charity governance. Partly in response to recent issues within prominent charities, the Charity Commission is expecting greater professionalism from trustees and expects to see in all charities a compliance and governance culture, with policies playing an important role in shaping that culture. Good, well-thought-through policies help to meet these heightened expectations whilst also providing a number of benefits for churches. This policy pack offers nine template policies (including associated guidelines) for churches or charities to adapt to meet their own particular circumstances. With the exception of safeguarding it covers all the policies referred to in the Charity Commission annual return as well as a policy on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing which is increasingly required by banks when opening new accounts.
