Governance Plus: Enhanced HR and Volunteer Support for Charities
The Governance Plus package builds on the Foundation level by providing broader advisory support and structured handling of employee and volunteer matters.
It is designed for charities with employees and active volunteer programmes that require more than administrative oversight. This package supports trustees and senior leaders in managing employee relations, conduct issues and safeguarding-related processes with clarity and confidence.
What the Governance Plus Package Includes:
Includes all Foundation services, plus:
- Unlimited HR and volunteer advice
- Support with disciplinary and grievance processes
- Volunteer conduct and complaint handling support
- Sickness absence and capability management
- Safer recruitment guidance
Unlimited HR and Volunteer Advice
Governance Plus provides ongoing access to advice for managers and trustees.
This enables you to address issues promptly and consistently, reducing the risk of informal handling or procedural gaps. Advice covers both employee and volunteer matters within the agreed scope.
Employee Relations Support
As organisations grow, formal processes become necessary.
Under Governance Plus we support:
- Disciplinary investigations and hearings
- Grievance management and appeals
- Capability and performance concerns
- Sickness absence processes
- Procedural documentation and guidance
Our role is to ensure that processes are proportionate, documented and aligned with employment law and governance duties.
Volunteer Conduct and Complaint Support
Volunteer matters can carry reputational sensitivity and safeguarding considerations.
We provide structured guidance on:
- Volunteer complaints
- Conduct concerns
- Role suitability issues
- Process documentation
- Escalation where required
Our advice balances fairness with accountability.
Safer Recruitment Guidance
Recruitment decisions create long-term risk if not handled properly.
Governance Plus includes guidance on safer recruitment practices, including:
- Recruitment process structure
- Interview guidance
- Appropriate checks
- Documentation standards
This supports compliance and reduces exposure to safeguarding or governance concerns.
Who Governance Plus Is Suitable For
This package is appropriate for:
- Charities with both employees and volunteers
- Organisations managing formal employee relations processes
- Trustees seeking ongoing advisory support
- Charities with moderate operational and reputational risk
It provides a stronger advisory framework while remaining proportionate.
