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.

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.

Great to see support for a better structured and more embedded #NCS - but surely a programme that contain elements of volunteering should not be made compulsory? 2. This would be contradictory to the principle of volunteering and counter-productive to the spirit of altruism that is at the heart of volunteering

Report out today by the @ChtyCommission shows increase in serious incident reporting. But this is a positive thing: it demonstrates charities are identifying problems and taking action. A serious incident is not a sign of a problematic charity. gov.uk/government/new… 2/2 Good to see recognition in the report that incidents will occur due to the nature and activity of charities: some will inevitably have higher numbers of serious incidents than others.
