In order to improve the accessibility and relevance of its best practice guidance, The Institute of Fundraising has launched checklists for each of its Codes of Practice.
Each Code now has a checklist at the front that pulls out pertinent issues from the code in a series of questions, making information easier to find and providing a structure for going through the information.
The checklists were developed in consultation with members of the Codes working parties, who are fundraising practitioners with specialist knowledge in each of the areas.
Louise Richards, director of policy and campaigns at the Institute of Fundraising, commented: ”These checklists are not intended as a substitute for reading our Codes in full, but act as an additional guide to help people digest the Codes.
"In this environment of increased scrutiny of fundraising methods and practices it is more important than ever that fundraisers properly interpret and keep to our Codes.”
The launch of the checklists coincides with a revamp of best practice information and guidance on the Institute’s website, again a measure to improve accessibility and ensure that fundraisers have all the information and guidance that they need.
The Codes are available online at www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/codesdirectory
