Candidates wishing to stand for election are advised to read the detailed role descriptions for the available posts to ensure that they are happy to accept the responsibilities and commitment required by the role.

UKAT is a registered charity and Trustees have legal responsibilities to discharge and bear legal liability for the governance and operation of the charity, so candidates wishing to stand for election as a Trustee should think carefully about whether they are willing to accept these liabilities before being nominated. More information about the role and responsibilities of a charity trustee can be found in the Charity Commission publication The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do and you are strongly encourage to read this before putting yourself forward.
