Book Description
Now in its seventh edition and with many thousands of copies sold, Voluntary but not Amateur has become the bible for anyone involved in setting up or managing voluntary sector organisations or anyone learning to do so on the many voluntary sector management courses running throughout the country.
This latest edition has been completely revised to cover all the relevant changes in legislation including employment, finance and company law, Charity Commission requirements and the Disability Discrimination Act. With practical information on accessibility, data protection and copyright as they apply to the use of the Internet and electronic media, this edition addresses all the issues affecting the modern voluntary organisation.
On its own Voluntary but not Amateur is an invaluable resource: in conjunction with its partner publication Just about Managing? almost everything you need to know about setting up and managing an organisation in the voluntary and community sector is covered.
From the Inside Flap
Understand how the law affects your organisation?
Frequent changes in the law make it difficult to keep up to date with your obligations to employees, volunteers, self-employed workers, service users and the general public. Whether taking on new staff, leasing premises, tendering for service contracts or changing their legal structure, staff and committee members need to understand the law.
Voluntary but not Amateur explains the current law, warns of imminent changes and makes suggestions for good practice. The check lists and models are particularly useful.
