Tuesday 21 April 2020. 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Expert Insight Session

Hear from Nick Hobden, Partner at Thomson Snell & Passmore LLP.

Our NEW Expert Insight Sessions will give you the opportunity to hear from an expert, ask questions and discuss with fellow Chairs and Vice Chairs.

This session will be led by Nick Hobden, Partner at Thomson Snell & Passmore LLP. Nick is experienced in handling all aspects of employment law, but particularly advising charities on complex, highly confidential, sensitive and difficult issues ranging from governance to internal processes. He has previously delivered a briefing with RSM for Association of Chairs members on pitfalls in compliance with the charity governance code.

In this session, Nick will discuss the impact of Covid 19 on charities’ employees and governance, including furlough leave and how to conduct good governance in difficult times. He will also discuss the welfare of staff working from home.

If you would like to submit any questions to the expert in advance of the session please email Isabel.locke@associationofchairs.org.uk by midnight on 16 April.

The session will be held over the online platform, Zoom, enabling you to see the expert and others joining the session face to face. Never used Zoom before? Do not worry! Following sign up we will send you a link to join the video call and instructions on how to use Zoom (e.g. how to check your sound and video are working).

The session will begin with the expert giving a short presentation on a particular topic. There will then be opportunity for you to ask questions, share your own learning and experiences and to hear from others.
