5: DECLARATION OF TRUST

The person appointed as the Publications Trustee will also become a trustee and director of SEB.

The roles of trustee/director are regulated in the UK by the Charity Commission and Companies House which bar certain individuals from becoming trustees/directors.  The legal requirements for being a trustee/director are set out here.

Being a trustee is not a role to be taken lightly and it is important that you understand the duties of a trustee; these are given here.
