They are equally indispensable to our businesses and government in its various forms. The value of data (business and personal) is becoming increasingly recognised and, with it, the requirement to retain appropriate control of it, use it effectively and protect it.
We have been advising on the law and practice relating to this world of information and communications technology (ICT) for over 15 years. We work on a cross-departmental team to get the right balance of ICT expertise and the knowledge and understanding we have of the commercial and legal environment in which our clients operate.
We recognise that, whilst investment in ICT services and goods can vary from the thousands of pounds to over a million pounds, the value of the overall contract does not always reflect the potential harm to the customer if those services do not work as expected. We therefore seek to tailor our advice, and costs for that advice, to the significance of the service to the client balanced against the client’s budget for it.
Our areas of ICT related work include:
This month we discuss the Charity Commission’s latest news bulletin, details required by Companies House, prize and sales limits for society lotteries and the public benefit requirement for charities.
This month we discuss the Charity Commission statement on implications for charities in light of the invasion of Ukraine, safeguarding concerns, the Spring Statement and de-registration of a charity.
This month we consider the Charities Act 2022, Charity Commission inquiries, police investigations and Covid-19 guidance.
This year looks set to be a challenging time for the charity sector as we navigate another year with Covid-19, increasing demands from beneficiaries and an expected reduction in public donations
Recent Charity Commission inquiries and their implications for trustees, updates to guidance on volunteering and safeguarding and the steps you can take to prevent your charity falling victim to fraud
This month we will be considering the impact of the Autumn Budget and Spending Review on the charity sector, trustee good practice concerning benefits and net carbon zero plans.
Recent changes to government Covid-19 guidance in England and Wales has led to some key developments for the voluntary sector, particularly as charities look towards the winter months.
