Voting:

-
Vote on new structure: Result, unanimous: Carried, 8 votes/0 to open new entity as an CIO, all other structures voted against 8 vote / 0.
-
Motion: Use a solicitor/accountant to start the CIO and use a consultant to perform the actions needed for the Preschool to physically open to parents after Easter, i.e. All operational concerns; Ofsted, Council applications. Vote taken: Carried, 8 votes/0
-
Motion: to bring Hannah Nicolson in to fulfil Operational concerns above and existing committee to find a solicitor/ accountant to prepare paperwork for CIO opening. Result, unanimous: 8 votes/0 to action this. NB- to go forward, a new committee must be formed to be included in the formation of the new CIO. Current committee not prepared to join CIO in any capacity.
Final comment on this- existing committee keen that new committee be ready to open after Easter. Old organisation will close at Easter. Ofsted, funding etc. must be in place, for New-co by then.
-
Resignation and Election/Re-Election of Committee Members.
oExisting committee resigned, subject to shutting current unincorporated charity (no individuals will stand to join existing entity due to concerns over structure). -
oNew committee sought for CIO to begin for summer term: ➢ Two parents have agreed to join the committee, but not agreed to become trustees to Charities Commission (as yet) as wish to review what this entails: -
Heliana (joint secretary – non charities commission
-
• Daniella – non charities commission
-
oFor CIO: There is a requirement of a minimum of 3 trustees required to take on, unnamed roles, covering:-
Chairperson duties
-
• Vice-Chair duties • Treasurer duties • Vice-Treasurer duties • Secretary (officer) duties
-
Other points/ agreements made for noting here:
-
For CIO – the liability to be limited to £1 per trustee as concerns over liability raised
oAll trustees have the same liability and legal and Ofsted responsibilities must be met, with appropriate names on Ofsted registration. -
Agree dates hand over of Chairperson – dates, folders, informing OFSTED etc. ▪ Date not agreed as yet as no committee members have agreed to join but must be during the Easter holidays*
-
oN.B: Date must be between pre-school closing for Easter 2024 and reopening before start of summer term 2024 -
oAs no further volunteers to join committee, discussion ensued regarding other options to provide contingency, if committee can’t be formed:

- Old committee reaching out to council, school, and other parties for help to ensure the continuation of pre-school.
- Old committee to continue running pre-school until New Committee is ready to take over at Easter 2024.
