The Hodgson Review of the Charities Act 2006, released yesterday, contained more than 100 proposals. The charity sector has been vocal in its reactions, but what do you think? Fill out our quick poll.

The Hodgson Review sparked on Twitter, and the sector's umbrella bodies were quick to release their position statements.

In brief, the review's main proposals included:

  • , without having to seek permission from the Charity Commission
  • which submit their accounts late to the Commission
  • Raising the t, and submit themselves to audits 
  • , which enable some charities to fundraise door-to-door without gaining local authority approval

Some of the proposals have proven highly controversial already, in particular the proposal to allow larger charities to pay trustees more easily. 

These recomendations are not yet law, regulation or even best practice.  The process of enacting some of these regulations, should they be accepted by government, could be drawn out, as they would require some 29 pieces of primary legislation. 

So what do you think of it? Have your say in our quick poll.
