Review Programme Project

Review Programme Project
Checklist of information to be provided by the charity to the reviewer
Please use this checklist to identify the documents you need to send the reviewer and to help
prepare yourself for the meeting.
This information provides the reviewer with the background to your charity and how it operates. Not
all of the information will necessarily be covered at the meeting or in the report of the review.
It’s important that this information is received by the reviewer no later than 15 working days
before the date of the review meeting to ensure the review and meeting can go ahead.
If information is received after this date, the reviewer may not have enough time to undertake the
review and could cancel the meeting.
Please do not send any information to the Charity Commission. The review is intended to be a
confidential arrangement between your charity and the reviewer. The Commission may be obliged
to release information if requested to do so under the Freedom of Information Act.
