Public Sector Insights: When interests collide – Local Authorities as charity trustees - Blake Morgan

Join Beth Walsh, Partner and Charities Lead at Blake Morgan, for this practical webinar exploring the governance challenges that arise when local authorities (or Councillors) acting as charity trustees and charities work together. Beth will share practical guidance on identifying conflicts of interest, managing them appropriately, and protecting both decision-making and public trust.

This session will help you to:

• Identify conflicts of interest before they undermine decision-making
• Navigate competing local authority responsibilities and charity trustee duties with confidence
• Manage conflict of interest risks arising from funding, land and governance decisions
• Put in place effective processes for declaring and handling conflicts of interest
• Avoid the legal, governance and reputational pitfalls of unmanaged conflicts of interest
• Protect decisions from challenge whilst maintaining public confidence and trust
