The Charity Governance Code (the Code) was updated at the end of 2020 and is supported by the Charity Commission. Although the Code is not a legal or regulatory requirement, it aims to help charities and their trustees to develop high standards of governance and details best practice in the sector. The Code is split into seven principles. Some questions for trustees to ask in each area are provided in the factsheet. These may be a useful guide for discussions at a trustee away day or a self-review of governance.

Our ‘Questions to ask…about the Charity Governance Code’ factsheet is now available to download below.
