I a - Technology & Risk How to deal with IT security in the context of risk management?

Which problems were overcome, what is working well and which risks are still unsolved? presentation (1.3MB) Martin Gill, Comic Relief |
I b - Volunteer View on Risk For 20 years Andy has been volunteering for Crisis and the National Trust. Confronted with homelessness, a variety of health & safety dangers and outdoor-risks – is there too much risk to handle for volunteers? How can they cope? How do they fit into the organisation? Andy Simmons, Crisis & National Trust |

II a - Trustees and Governance In 2003 two homelessness charities moved from positions of apparent strength to collapse within months as a result of ineffective, and ultimately destructive, governance. The session will explore the circumstances leading to the collapses and how to avoid these issues. presentation (71KB) Richard Weighell, PKF |
II b - Governance & Status Risk Which "legal risks" do charities face, in particular in the light of the changes in the Charities Bill?
