Legal & regulatory responsibilities
There is a wide range of legislation and regulation that relates to managing a village hall or community building. It may feel like an overwhelming list, but they are all important parts of keeping your hall safe for everyone using it, and making sure you don’t encounter any legal issues.
We’ll outline the different things to be aware of, but do remember that legislation and regulations can change so you will need to check and update periodically. You may wish to sign up to relevant newsletters or bulletins, e.g. from the Health and Safety Executive.
