Law and regulation

In the Office of the Third Sector we are responsible for:

• charity law in England and Wales, making sure that the legal framework helps charities to develop their activities and services and to play an increasing role for good in society while giving confidence to the public about the integrity of charities

• cutting red tape for third sector organisations, by monitoring new legislation and encouraging changes to existing legislation and good regulatory practice to ensure that the regulation of these organisations is fair and proportionate

More general information about regulation that can affect third sector organisations, such as employment and health and safety law, can be found at Businesslink
