The Charity Commission is set to issue formal guidance to trustees of the National Coal Mining Museum following a compliance case opened in January after complaints from UNISON during a long-running strike. Trustees will be reminded of legal duties covering risk assessment, legal compliance, and acting in the charity's best interests.

UNISON regional organiser Rianne Hooley said the findings would help ensure the museum is managed appropriately and its long-term future safeguarded, framing the outcome as vindication for staff who raised concerns while on strike.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Getting reminded by your regulator to follow rules you're already supposed to know is a low bar to clear, and clearing it during a strike is lower still. Staff apparently had to walk out before anyone in charge got a refresher on basic governance.
