@damemarymarsh announces that the ‘code’ will be rebranded as a statement of ‘charity ethical principles’ #TrusteeConf - this shows we have listened to concerns about having too many codes and creating confusion
Also better reflects that principles are an overarching framework, not a set of rules
And that the principles will complement existing codes such as Charity Governance Code

So to recap on the new Job Support Scheme:

Will be introduced from 1 November to protect viable jobs in businesses that are facing lower demand over the winter months due to coronavirus, and will run for 6 months.
Note focus on viable jobs i.e. jobs that exist and can continue to exist, unlike jobs that couldn’t happen like under the Job Retention Scheme: so this scheme is significantly less generous, although understandably since previous level of support couldn’t go on forever.
Scheme contributes towards the wages of employees who are working fewer than normal hours:
- employers will continue to pay the wages of staff for the hours they work
- for the hours not worked, the government and the employer will each pay one third of their equivalent salary

The government's consultation on proposals to extend the dormant assets scheme closes today: gov.uk/government/con…
@NCVO has submitted a short response welcoming the proposed expansion of the scheme: any expansion means more assets going towards causes that benefit the wider public and particularly the most disadvantaged
We also support the @LocalTrust proposal to use the money from the next wave of dormant assets to establish a Community Wealth Fund: this would see funding decisions devolved directly to communities and local organisations

I am very grateful to the @PublicStandards Committee for asking my views about the current regulation of elections, and the role of the Electoral Commission, specifically in relation to non-party campaigners
These are some of the things we spoke about:
1. The need for alignment between PPERA and the RPA, so charities no longer have to grapple with different tests for what can fall within the definition of ‘controlled expenditure’
2. The importance for the Electoral Commission to have a full toolbox, and the right tools to enforce electoral law – especially as new forms of campaigning emerge in the digital era.

Trustees are now feeling overburdened you the amount of regulation, by the detail they are expected to know about #trusteeconf
The current social model of trusteeship is no longer working, it is unfair on trustees
So we need a new model of trusteeship: @p_kirkpatrick suggests an assured unitary governance model

Key announcements for charities in today’s spending round are set out in @PaulWinyard’s blog: blogs.ncvo.org.uk/2019/09/04/spe…
My attention obviously was drawn to the further boost given to the @ChtyCommission : £2.4m or basically 10%
That’s helpful additional resources that will hopefully be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its statutory responsibilities

1. Today the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 Regulations 2019 come into force: they make amendments to Schedule 3 to the Charities Act 2011 in relation to exempt charities that have the Office for Students as their principal regulator.
2. The amendments, will enable any higher education provider registered with the OfS to become an exempt charity by an Order issued by the Privy Council.
3. The Regulations will also remove exempt charity status from any higher education provider that is not registered with the OfS.
