July’s edition of Governance & Leadership features safeguarding as its cover theme, and explores how safeguarding in the sector has changed since the scandals of 2018.
The Church of England’s safeguarding bishop writes about how the Church is learning from past events in dealing with safeguarding across its 16,000 churches, and developing better foundations for safeguarding governance and scrutiny.
Bond’s CEO covers off safeguarding improvements in the international development sector, and the Charity Retail Association describes changes that have taken place across charity shops to better protect staff and volunteers.
And a digital safeguarding expert explains what digital safeguarding is and how it should be used to develop and enhance charity services.
In Strategy & Operations, a Cardiff-based professor outlines how partnerships between charities and universities can bring benefits to both parties, and in Law & Guidance the Charity Commission foreshadows some impending changes to its guidance on governance, meetings and decision-making.
The Core Functions section has the theme of human resources, and this year we focus on service-user trustees. The chair of the Network of Women Chairs examines how to get the best out of these trustees and how to make the whole experience a valuable one for them. And we hear from a service-user trustee at Migrant Help who joined the charity’s lived experience advisory panel, and then its trustee board, after the organisation supported her following her escape from modern slavery in the UK.
And last but far from least, we have the Charity Awards Event Report, with details of all the winners and why they won.
We do hope you enjoy reading it.
