Charity Commission - proposed new and reworded classification codes for charities

To be a proactive and risk led regulator, the Commission needs to be able to segment the charity sector so we can analyse how different charities are affected by risks, tailor our advice and issue targeted messaging.To be a proactive and risk led regulator, the Commission needs to be able to segment the charity sector so we can analyse how different charities are affected by risks, tailor our advice and issue targeted messaging.

Currently, the classification categories do not provide sufficient detail for these purposes. For example, education and training is a single category selected by 52% of registered charities to explain what they do. We have no way of identifying whether a specific risk is affecting particular types of educational charities such as schools, pre-schools or further education providers, making it difficult to target our response appropriately.

User testing will take place throughout April to ensure the codes are fit for purpose and charities are able to classify themselves. We welcome all charities interested in user testing to contact us at UserResearchTeam(at)charitycommission.gov.uk. The codes will be reviewed as needed based on the feedback from this testing. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-classifications/proposed-new-and-reworded-classification-codes
