These are also elected at the AGM. All trustees are DBS checked before they can work on the committee. The charity is also a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance who help advise on governance issues. The main risk to the charity is going concern. This is impacted by not attracting enough children to attend or changes in legislation restricting or removing the grants for 3 to 5 year olds. We feel this risk is covered through our strong reputation in the local area and links with the infant school we share a slte with. The second risk is not meeting the laws and regulations associated with running a pre- school. We have experienced staff who keep up to date with all the latest changes in law5 and regulation5 and ensure we adhere to these.
