ONLINE TRAINING FOR CHARITY TEAMS
Give employees, managers, trustees and regular volunteers access to role-relevant online learning while keeping assignments, certificates and renewal dates together. MoreCPD combines the entire e-learning library with an easy-to-use LMS and practical support in one subscription.
Team plans start at £45 + VAT a month for up to 10 learners. All subscriptions have a 12-month commitment.
Online staff training for charities allows an organisation to assign, deliver and record role-relevant learning for employees and other authorised learners through one central platform. Employees, trustees and volunteers are distinct relationships, and each individual account counts toward learner capacity.
Assign learning according to responsibilities, support induction, see progress, keep completion certificates together, monitor renewal dates and review reports for internal oversight.
Read the mandatory training guide Explore health and safety trainingThere is no universal charity training checklist. Training decisions may depend on activities, services, nation, people supported, role risks, work settings, contact with children or adults at risk, contractual, insurance and funder requirements, and charity policies and risk assessments.
Charity Commission guidance for England and Wales treats safeguarding and protecting people as a governance priority. Trustees should take reasonable steps to protect beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and others. Not every charity works with children or adults at risk, and general awareness does not replace specialist safeguarding training, policies, supervision, safer recruitment, DBS checks, local procedures or reporting responsibilities. Trustees retain governance oversight, while Scotland and Northern Ireland have different charity regulators.
Read Charity Commission safeguarding guidanceAwareness learning to consider alongside the charity’s safeguarding policies, reporting routes and specialist responsibilities.
Online awareness does not replace charity-specific procedures, designated safeguarding roles, supervision or specialist advice.
Workplace awareness for employees, volunteers and others whose activities create relevant risks.
Online learning does not replace risk assessment, local induction, emergency arrangements or practical instruction.
Information-handling awareness for people working with supporter, beneficiary, employee or volunteer data.
Learning that can support respectful and inclusive charity workplaces and services.
General awareness learning for supportive conversations and workplace wellbeing.
General awareness is separate from Mental Health First Aid, which is purchased separately.
These are areas to assess, not a mandatory checklist.
| Relationship or role | Areas to assess |
|---|---|
| Employees | Role-specific induction, safeguarding where relevant, health and safety, data protection, equality and workplace conduct |
| Managers and team leaders | People management, safeguarding escalation, risk, supervision, wellbeing and local procedures |
| Trustees | Governance and oversight awareness relevant to their duties; trustees are office-holders rather than employees merely because they are trustees |
| Volunteers | Proportionate induction, safeguarding, safety, data handling and conduct relevant to the volunteer activity; volunteering is distinct from employment |
| Fundraisers and public-facing teams | Data protection, safeguarding, personal safety, communication and charity-specific procedures |
| Other authorised learners | Only learning relevant to their relationship, activities, access and risks |
Employees, volunteers and trustees have different legal and organisational relationships. Trustees have governance responsibilities, while volunteers may need induction and role-specific instruction without becoming employees. Online learning should sit alongside local induction, policies, supervision and practical instruction.
From Starter upwards, the manager LMS supports assignments, progress, certificates, renewal information and reports. MoreCPD is not a complete personnel, volunteer, governance or safeguarding record.
Simple setup, full standard library access and one place for training evidence can support small teams and people with several responsibilities.
Use consistent baseline learning, role-based assignments, renewal management and reporting for oversight. Contact MoreCPD to discuss requirements for projects or locations.

This page provides general information and is not legal advice. Training requirements depend on your activities, workforce, location and risks. Check current legislation and guidance or obtain professional advice where necessary.
There is no universal charity training checklist. Needs depend on activities, services, people supported, role risks, location, policies, funder or insurer requirements, and current guidance for the relevant UK nation.
Some charity volunteers may need induction and role-specific training. The appropriate learning depends on what they do, who they meet, the risks involved and the charity’s own procedures; volunteers are not employees simply because they receive training.
Trustees may need governance and safeguarding awareness relevant to their responsibilities. Each charity should decide what is proportionate for its trustees and should not assume that trustees need the same learning as employees or volunteers.
Not every charity has the same safeguarding risks. Charities should assess their activities, contact with children or adults at risk, responsibilities and current guidance to decide what safeguarding arrangements and training are appropriate.
