The Government’s Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) is inviting
comments from the public and professionals about regulation concerning volunteer
events.

These are one of three topics currently featured as part of its Focus on Enforcement
initiative. “Help us identify where enforcement can be improved, reduced or done
differently and to discover and celebrate where it works really well, so others 
can learn from it”, states the BIS website.

Specifically the consultation covers “the sort of compliance and enforcement issues
that you might come into contact with when planning and running an event to raise
money for good cause”.

So far, only three contributions have been made on volunteer events, covering the
issues of small charities’ raffles, proportionate examination of health and safety
risks, and the role of local councils.
