Review of Trustee Standards  Since 2006, the National Occupational Standards for Trustees have been very well received – in fact, over 5,000 pocket guides have been sold and countless more copies downloaded electronically.
As part of the Standards monitoring process, Skills – Third Sector must now check that the Standards are still ‘fit for purpose’ and reflect good practice in Trusteeship across the UK.
They’ve have developed an online questionnaire and would value your thoughts. To find out more and to complete the questionnaire please visit:
