The Charities Regulatory Authority has introduced a “Trustee Learning Portal” to provide training to help Trustees understand their legal obligations.
The first course “Guidance for Trustees” is online and takes approximately 40 mins to complete. The content covers the material from their guidance booklet of the same name. Try it for yourself, https://trusteelearning.ie/.
Despite the limitations of online learning, there are numerous advantages; the course is free, convenient, flexible and delivers quality information to a large cohort of Trustees in Ireland fully online.
We can look forward to the introduction of additional courses over the coming months to support Trustees in getting to grips with governance requirements in the Charity Sector.
