The Charity Commission gives details of the insurance that charitable organisations must have: Charities and insurance - GOV. UK. As an employer you must provide a workplace pension scheme. The Charity Commission gives this guidance: Set up and manage a workplace pension scheme: Employers and eligible staff - GOV.UK. For further information see the Pensions Regulator: New employers / The Pensions Regulator. If your organisation works with children or vulnerable adults you must safeguard them. You must comply with health and safety legislation (the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999) and protect your employees and others from harm. The Health and Safety Executive provides detailed guidance and risk assessment templates: Managing risks and risk assessment at work – Overview -HSE. If your employees use computer screens daily for more than an hour you must do a workstation assessment. The Health and Safety Executive has a template which you can use: Display screen equipment (DSE) workstation checklist. You must also provide an eye test for regular computer users and glasses if an employee needs them only for that use. Every employee must have a contract before they start, which sets out the main terms of their employment. This can be verbal but it’s good practice to put something in writing – you could use the template that ACAS provides: Templates for written statements | ACAS.
