New OTS resources on regulation
23 February 2010
The Office of the Third Sector has launched new web resources aimed at helping third sector organisation keep up to date with recent and ongoing regulatory changes, and providing links to more details information.
The new pages include information about changes to charity law and regulation, including the implementation plan for the Charities Act 2006 and the Plain English guide to the Act. However, they also provide links to useful information on other websites, such as:
• the Simplification Plans all Government departments to produce that outline their achievements in reducing the burden of regulation on businesses, charities and voluntary organisations
• the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills new Employment Law Organiser, which is intended to help all employers, including third sector organisations, manage the key legal obligations they are required to fulfil
The new law and regulation pages will be regularly updated to highlight the latest developments in cutting red tape for third sector organisations to help them to keep up with changes that help them.
