Guest Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi I have been asked to find out about the role of a trustee of a setting? I am presuming it similar to the committee? Does anyone have any information they could share? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi Jenni, Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help, but I'm sure someone will be along soon.... Have you tried the Pre-school Learning Alliance? They can usually provide lots of useful information. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i think trustees sit on your commitee - PLA will definitly give you the info you need but think they are responsible for the running and management of the commitee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any information they could share? Thank you Hi Jenni - the Charities Commission have free (I think) information booklets on the role of trustees. Hope this useful.

JacquieL Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This might help but don't let it scare you. I'm not sure how it adapts to your type of setting. http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/publications/cc3.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any information they could share? Thank you Hi I am a trustee of a pre-school and whilst the role is vastly similar to that of a committee member there are some additional responsibilities involved. If the setting you are a trustee of goes into liquidation and it can be proven that it was as a result of the trustees decisions you can be liable financially. Mant settings are becoming a Ltd company to avoid this, we haven't yet but are investigating! You also have to prepare a trustees report each year for the Charities Commission.
