    In 2010 the Equality Act 2010 consolidated over 100 pieces of legislation to provide a framework for rights that advance equality of opportunity.The Act has nine areas known as protected categories (which you'll learn more about later).

    What is the GDPR?
    The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new, Europe-wide law that replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 in the UK. It is part of the wider package of reform to the data protection landscape that includes the Data Protection Bill. The GDPR sets out requirements for how organisations will need to handle personal data from 25 May 2018.

    The Annual Reports are a chance to reflect on the events and work of the year.

    As a charity, SKIP constantly strives to develop and improve to provide the best possible experience for our members. Without the support of SKIP members, we would not be able to have such a dramatic impact on our benefactor’s lives around the world. 

    However, we are aware that sometimes there may be times when we do not meet our own high standards. When this happens, we want to be made aware of it, manage the situation and put measures in place to prevent it happening again. This is why we take feedback and concerns seriously and treat them as an opportunity to develop and improve further. We are grateful to hear from SKIP members who are willing to take the time to help us improve. 

    For more information about Fundraising, please see the treasury module.

    All recruitment is governed by our bylaws (see section below). 

    Have a look at the below pages going through the recruitment processes for SKIP!

    Bylaws are 'a operating manual'. The bylaws are the main governing document for a organisation. 


    Bylaws raise the level of accountability, transparency, and effectiveness of all non-profit organisations- https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/nonprofit-bylaws-made-easy/.
