I met with the Chief Executive of the Charities Regulator on 8 July 2020. I have had a number of subsequent informal meetings with the Chief Executive. A date has not yet been set for the next formal meeting, which I anticipate will take place in the first half of 2021.
The Oversight Agreement between the Regulator and my Department states that the Minister and the Chief Executive should meet formally once a year and the Secretary General of my Department will also meet the Chief Executive annually. A formal meeting between the Secretary General and the Chief Executive and Chair of the Regulator took place on 29 October.
Officials from my Department hold more regular formal and informal meetings with the Chief Executive and other officials from the Regulator.
