The people involved with your organisation might be on the committee, a member, employed by the organisation, a volunteer, funder, donor or a service user. Special legal obligations and rights apply to each of these relationships.

It can sometimes be hard to identify which of the relationship applies, and in some cases one person may be engaging with your organisation in several ways (eg. one person could be a member, donor and service user of a medical support not-for-profit).

If you are unsure about what type of relationship is involved and the laws that apply, read the information in each of the People Involved sub-pages to help you identify the relationship and law that applies.
