Very high risk, I would imagine. That would be the highest risk. There would be an assumption that a charity would be out for the good of people and operating within best practice. There is no question that there is a charity that purports to offer professional care to people under a charitable heading when it is not a charity. This is extremely serious.
What role does the Charities Regulator have in highlighting risks to the public? What comes to mind is the financial regulator advertisement from many years ago. What does the Charities Regulator do to highlight to the public that they could be giving money to dodgy things? What is the role of the Charities Regulator in advertising public awareness?
