Make sure you read it"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Last week I wrote an article about the importance of following the Fundraising Code of Practice. It applies even if you are involved in only the smallest amount of fundraising. <a href=\"http:\/\/vanel.org.uk\/va\/2018\/02\/do-you-fundraise-if-so-do-you-understand-enough-about-the-fundraising-code-of-practice-that-you-should-be-following\/\">Read that article here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk\/\">The Fundraising Regulator<\/a> has now just reissued the Code. It has been very specifically updated to reflect data protection issues and will come into <span class=\"__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date\">force on 25th May 2018<\/span> at the same time as the GDPR regulations kick in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk\/2018\/02\/15\/code-fundraising-practice-updated-data-protection\/\">You can read a press release about the new version of the Code here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Specifically the revised Code sets out the rules for fundraisers regarding personal data. The changes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">&#8211; Ensure consistent terminology between the Code &amp; GDPR;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8211; Emphasise that any activity involving personal data (including wealth screening, data matching, tele-appending and reuse of public information) falls under processing and that data protection rules apply;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8211; Create new sections on Data Protection and Direct Marketing;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8211; Add and expand definitions for key terms, including \u201cprocessing\u201d, \u201cconsent\u201d and \u201clegitimate Interest\u201d;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8211; Increase links to existing guidance from the ICO, the Fundraising Regulator and other relevant bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">So now is the time to review the new Code, and as well as getting your data protection approach sorted out to meet GDPR, you can ensure your fundraising is in order too. Make sure you share it with all your trustees, managers, and key staff or volunteers who are involved with fundraising. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">This is not to be ignored &#8211; especially in light of trust issues with the charitable sector raising their ugly head yet again in the news. The Fundraising Code of Practice exists to give confidence to the public, but it will only work if we read it, understand it and implement it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Use this newly released Code as an excuse to check through what you\u2019re doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-18065\" data-postid=\"18065\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-18065 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I wrote an article about the importance of following the Fundraising Code of Practice.
