The Commission’s guide entitled ‘Charities and Insurance (CC49)’ has been comprehensively
revised.
The four-part document acknowledges the steep rises in insurance costs 
experienced by many charities and “seeks to offer practical guidance to charities
to help them decide what cover they actually need.” It also clarifies the duties
and responsibilities faced by trustees with regard to insurance, and stresses the
need for risk management.
