I'm involved with a group which is trying to set up and umbrella organisation for traditional musics of Wales (and associated practices). The group has had quite a large-ish National Lottery grant, and with it comes layers and layers of requirements for complying with regulations. We've just adopted a Child Protection policy to comply with the CP Act - it ain't gonna be easy to put singers in schools or any kind of youth work!

We're also about to advertise two part time jobs and there are certain issue re: compliance with both the Welsh Language Act and Equal Opportunities which few people seem to understand.

(((( sigh ))))

All necessary, but puts a big administrative burden on volunteers.
