AGM
The following guidelines have been issued by OSCR:
Postpone your AGM and other meetings. https://www.oscr.org.uk/guidance-and-forms/covid-19-guidance-for-charities/3-charity-meetings-and-governance/
You might decide that as a result of COVID-19 and the official health advice postponing your AGM or other meetings until restrictions are lifted or meetings can be held observing physical distancing rules is the best option. It may be that by postponing these meetings, you are not fulfilling what it says in your governing document or you will not be able to finalise your annual report and accounts. Where you decide it is necessary to postpone you should record this decision, demonstrating good governance of your charity. We will be understanding and proportionate should any concerns be raised with us about the postponement of AGMs or other meetings.
JW explained that she had also spoken with DTAS who confirmed the above. Their advice being to be aware that no information has been given by OSCR, to date, as to the length the postponement can be for. Also, DTAS said to ensure that the Board’s decision to postpone our AGM is recorded as such. Those present voted unanimously to postpone CCDC’s AGM until 2021.
