Rollits serving up breakfast and best practice for charity and education sector leaders

Experts at a leading law firm will address issues ranging from serious incidents involving charities to social media threats on smart phones as part of their next series of free breakfast briefings.
Rollits LLP, which has offices in Hull and York, will present a series of three briefings for the charity and education sectors with some content relevant to both audiences.
The first in the new season of charity briefings will take place on Wednesday 16 October. Gerry Morrison, Partner and Head of Charities, and Senior Solicitor Harriet Wheeldon will present jointly on how charities should deal with serious incidents if they occur and what can be done in the first place to prevent them.
A second session on Wednesday 12 February, 2025, will focus on the legal duties relevant to charity trustees in respect of charities and data protection, and the final charities event on April 30, 2025, will look at how charities can take practical steps to avoid and mitigate the risk of serious incidents involving staff and volunteers.
The first in the series of education breakfast briefings will take place on Thursday 7 November and will bring together James Peel and Ed Heppel from Rollits’ specialist Education team, and Sarah Young, founder of Young Plus Ltd and a highly experienced education professional who works in partnership with the Rollits’ team to provide a wider range of advice and support to clients in this sector.
The first session will examine the challenges presented by the growing use of smart phones among adults and children and the implications for employers, employees, learners, parents and wider stakeholders with regard to social media use and the risks associated for schools and colleges.
On Thursday 30 January, 2025, the subject will be effective governance and supporting board members and trustees. “A Positive Approach to Menopause” will be the theme for the final education briefing on Thursday April 3, 2025.
All the events will take place at Rollits’ office in High Street, Hull. The charity briefings will run from 9am until 10.30am and the education sessions will take place from 8am until 10am.
