starsdance Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Other than the three you need to have:- Chair, Treasurer, Secretary what other roles do you have? We used to have a Health and Safety Officer who used to do a termly check on the whole setting but this seems to have gone by the by and I am wondering if we still need one. At the moment I am trying to do it but along with everything else this has been pushed to the back on my need to do list. I know committee members are hard to get and keep so wondered if you were lucky enough to have a full compliment or just muddled along with the main three and a couple more?

Rea Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 We have only ever had the 3 plus whatever others were available at the time! Our staff do the risk assessment for the kitchen each morning and check windows, emergency exits ect plus equip as its used. We're in shared premises so need to do the checks daily.

lsp Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) We have a 'vice chair' but really it is a name only role to 'encourage' someone to take on the role of chair. They feel that the job is shared. We have named health and safety who carries out our annual risk assessments and audit of accident forms with the manager and we have a named safeguarding person. Our LA puts on training courses for committee at reasonable cost. Edited July 18, 2016 by lsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I complete a daily risk assessment on arrival as we are in multi-used premises. Another staff member is our Health and Safety Officer and is responsible for audit checks on a regular basis. No committee members currently do this role.

thumperrabbit Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 FUNDRAISING - without committee doing this role we would've closed down years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsp Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I really wish my committee would become active in fundraising. It is one of the things that drag staff down. I don't know if it is because we do have some money in the bank, at the moment, that it is not seen as very important. i have explained and encouraged but still nothing. Only fundraising are small regular things that I organise. I think it needs to be a priority and high up on the role of a committee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Roles ? Do they have roles ? Lol Like you isp I've found this year not the easiest especially having had a fab committee for the last couple of years, any fundraising they planned (that wasn't year on year things that staff do and they just have to serve some refreshments) they cancelled due to nothing being organised or advertised in time :-( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
