A panel discussion considering what the future hold for charities and their governance, and how trustees can support their charities to survive and thrive.
Here we share our progress on updating the Charity Governance Code. Hear from the Code steering group about changes that are being made to the Diversity and Integrity principles following its refresh.
The panel will share some of the proposed changes to the Integrity principle, offering a preview of the updates. They will also reflect on findings from engagement and the extended consultation on enhancements to the Diversity principle. This will be an opportunity for the steering group to share their learning, having listened to a range of experiences. It is also an opportunity to discuss best practice which has been identified through the revision work. Finally, the group will offer an update on next steps on the Code's revision.
We’ve put together this video guide to using the governance wheel to carry out a board effectiveness review. It will be most useful for trustees or staff who are undertaking a board review for their own charity and want to know how best to use the governance wheel to support them in this.
As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
Normal working practices have changed dramatically in a very short period. Most staff are still working remotely, and many organisations have made use of the furlough scheme. This has meant organisations are having to manage and support staff remotely; review some existing policies to ensure they are still fit for purpose; and manage with a reduced and rotating staff capacity. In partnership with our Trusted Supplier Croner, in this webinar we will be sharing good practice on managing and supporting staff in this new environment. We will be joined by Vicky Scott, Operations and HR Manager at Hackney CVS who will share the experiences and learnings of Hackney CVS in this new context.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months. For many of the hardest hit charities, the process of restructuring and making redundancies will sadly be inevitable. In this webinar we help organisations prepare for this context.
Entering a new phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the option of returning to your workplace, has legal and practical implications for all charities. Employers need to be clear about what they are required to do to ensure the health and safety of their staff and volunteers. Employers are having to consider questions such as: what reasonable adjustments should employers make for their workforce in returning to a ‘new normal?’ How can we prepare for what lies ahead? In partnership with TrustLaw, in this webinar we aim to answer these questions. We will be joined by Sarah Valentine, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland and Andrew New, Head of Education at St John Ambulance.

Autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates
with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world
around them.
It is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain
difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways. Some people with autism are
able to live relatively independent lives but others may have accompanying learning
disabilities and need a lifetime of specialist support.
People with autism may also experience over or under sensitivity to sounds, touch,
tastes, smells, light or colours.
Autism presents a number of key characteristics that individually and collectively form
barriers for people with Autism to learn, develop and progress.
6. 6
Children, young people and adults with Autism
•Wide range of needs and support
•Bespoke package of individual support
•Underserved members of the community
•Lack of clear planning about future provision
•Need for new / innovative ideas
7. 7
Autism
Across of our programmes we are looking to support people with Autism to:
• Access activity with consistency and continuity
• Be able to interpret and use social communication and environmental cues
• Be more confident to make meaningful, empowered decisions.
• Try to problem solve and find solutions
• Think and plan ahead including organisational skills.
• 'Self-recognise' sensory preferences and tolerances.

TENDER RESPONSE
Creative
choices
“Creative Choices” is a multi-disciplinary arts and cultural programme
designed to engage people with autism.
The programme aims to broaden the horizons and aspirations of the participants through
engagement with creative arts activities to achieve its 3 key outcomes:
• To develop self-confidence
• To improve communication skills
• To work towards being employable
16. 06/12/13
“Play” allows participants to access new and innovative ways of learning and helps to
broaden their experience.
‘Play’ encourages risk and creative risk, removal of parameters, removes the sense that
there is a right and wrong answer, it responds to each individual and is owned, formed
and shaped by the individual regardless of artform.
‘Play’ does not seek to replicate a style of genre of art, but rather provides the space for
the individual to respond within an artform or number of artforms..
18. 18
Examples of outcomes of ‘Play’ - people with Autism
• Introduction to the concept of personal development and growth (eg progression
through an activity that is repeated but extended over time)
• Beginning to explore and feel comfortable in different environments and roles (eg
as audience member, performer, assistant)
• Building confidence through achievements and discoveries (eg Performing,
moving, singing, creating, speaking in front of peer group and external audience)
• Co-operating/ negotiating / sharing / trading with other group members through
participation towards a common goal (eg creating an artistic response – song,
dance, etc)
• Communicating individually, in pairs and as part of a group, recognising the value
in providing support to others (eg in preparing for rehearsal and performance)
• Exploring communicating physically and improving physical interactions with
others/concept of personal space (eg creating space for others to excel and
achieve – sharing lines, dancing together, matching rhythms)

It’s helped me talk more.”

brilliantly.”
