Further Information Regarding The Vetlife Board Of Trustees

  • The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Vetlife with responsibility for management of the assets, charitable distribution of benefits, day to day administration of activities, employment of staff and engagement of consultants. It consists of twelve trustees.
  • A Trustee must be a registered MRCVS or RVN and full member of Vetlife. For details of Vetlife membership, please contact the Vetlife office.
  • Particular attention is drawn to the independence of the Board of Trustees of Vetlife from other veterinary organisations and to the avoidance of potential Conflicts of Interest in relation to Board Membership or voluntary activities. Membership of, or participation in, professional disciplinary bodies such as the Preliminary Investigation Committee or Disciplinary Committee of RCVS will be considered fully conflicted in this context.
  • Trustees are asked to scrutinise and comment on papers put to them by the charity, and to participate in meetings of the Board of Trustees, to which may be added such participation in committees or working groups as may from time to time be required.
  • Trustees are expected to be ambassadors for Vetlife and will be asked to represent the charity at meetings or conferences.
  • By standing for election, nominees will be deemed to be declaring that they are a ‘fit & proper person’ as defined in H M Revenue & Customs guidance.
  • Any Trustee appointed will be required to undertake an enhanced level Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check (England and Wales), Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme, (Scotland). Vetlife has a policy on the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (copy available upon request) and observes both the DBS (England and Wales) and Disclosure (Scotland) Codes of Practice.
