## **Recruitment and training of trustees** 

The charity adheres to its Diversity and Equality Policy in all recruitment. They undertake interviews, references and view DBS checks. 

All staff undergo regular safeguarding training as well as more specialist training in our approaches and specific safeguarding areas (such as exploitation, sexual abuse, mental health etc). 

## **Reserves policy and risk management** 

The Odd Arts Reserves Policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue over a period of up to 18 months should a shortfall in income occur and to take account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.  18 months has been decided due to current programmes lasting this length of time and needing to fulfil customer and grant-giver requirements and contracts / agreements. The amount of reserves kept back each year are all of surplus income once a 25 - 50% contribution of yearly surplus has contributed towards the company business plan aims in order to develop the company further and reach more beneficiaries and increase impact.
