Trustee Induction and Refresher Training

June 22, 2010

Adrian Pashley, Senior Solicitor with the Charities Team at Blake Lapthorn has made me aware of some forthcoming training on offer.

Blake Lapthorn trustee induction and refresher training

This course is designed for new and existing charity trustees. It will help trustees understand their role within your charity as well as their legal and ethical responsibilities. As a result, they’ll be more knowledgeable and therefore be better placed to make a full contribution to the management and development of your charity. Charities can also use the course to demonstrate to the Charity Commission (via their annual report) that they have made suitable provision for the induction and training of their trustees.

Conveniently located in Southampton, Oxford and London, this half day course is excellent value for money at only £100+VAT. The course price includes course notes and lunch. We operate a rolling programme of training and forthcoming training dates are:

5 October – London

23 March – Southampton

Having recently run a presentation with the Blake Lapthorn team I am aware of their indepth knowledge and expertise in the charity sector. Whilst I have not personally attended the trustee induction course I am sure that it will be delivered to their usual high standards. Whether attending this or another event, I believe it is absolutely imperative for trustees of independent schools to receive professional training in order to help them fulfil their roles as successfully as possible. It will also ensure they fully understand their legal obligations which are often more onerous than trustees imagine when they take on the role. I suspect that it is well worth a small investment to ensure your school has robust and effective governance.
