Do you know if your charity is trading? What does this mean for your organisation and what reliefs are available? When do you need to think about a trading subsidiary? Would it benefit you more to have a Social Enterprise in your structure?

Most charities are having to be innovative in the ways that they generate income, increasingly generating funds from other sources than donations and varied fundraising activities. Our seminar will outline the basic reliefs and exemptions available to charities that trade, the distinction between primary purpose trading and other trading and pointers to consider as to why and when to use a trading subsidiary.

This event will be of particular interest to those charities that have, or are considering operating a trading subsidiary or expanding their current activities to include a social enterprise, especially those involved in the management of a charity or not-for-profit organisation including academy schools.

Helena Wilkinson, partner and head of Price Bailey’s Charities & NFP group will lead the seminar, after which you are welcome to stay for networking and to ask any additional questions of Helena, Daren Moore (Norwich office partner) and other members of our team.

The new Food Information Regulations come into force on December 13th 2014 and will require allergy information to be provided on non pre-packed foods including those sold in Catering & Licensed businesses such as pubs, hotels, restaurants, take-aways, staff canteens and cafés. In addition foods supplied at events will also be covered, e.g. wedding buffets. Under the rules, the 14 food allergens listed in the Regulation, including peanuts, milk, eggs and cereals containing gluten, will need to be specifically highlighted to customers.

The purpose of the Regulations is to reduce the incidence of allergen adverse reaction by consumers eating undeclared allergens. Food Business Operators will be able to provide allergy information in the ways that best suit their individual business. Some businesses will have fixed menus, others menus that are changing frequently. The provision of information on a menu, a chalkboard or as part of a conversation with staff will secure compliance with the Regulations.

We are running this 2 hour seminar to help you comply with the regulations

Sarah Daniels is part of the team who has rolled out training an behalf of the Food Standards Agency and the Chartered Institure of Environmental Health to enforcement officers from Local Authority Environmental Health Officers and County Council Trading Standards Officers

She is best placed to give you update to date, sensible advice on how to realistically comply with the new regulations

Our first Early Bird seminar for 2014 will offer an indispensable guide to the covert monitoring of employees’ activities.

We will provide practical guidance on ….

> the procedural steps you must take before you covertly monitor employees; > the limitations on what you can monitor, for what purposes, for how long; and > how to use covert evidence in disciplinary and tribunal hearings.

Employee surveillance can take many forms. Do you, or are you considering ….

> monitoring employees’ email and internet traffic? > operating CCTV on your premises? > tracking your company vehicles? > using evidence from social media? > monitoring a sick employee suspected of malingering?

If so, our Early Bird seminar will help to ensure that you make fair and appropriate use of the information you obtain without infringing privacy laws, such as the Data Protection and Human Rights Acts.

All delegates will benefit from a practical case study that explores common privacy issues and you will receive a helpful checklist on employee monitoring.
