Up to fourteen practical questions about how your charity runs, where minutes live, who can authorise a payment, when interests were last declared. Where your public record already answers a question, we do not ask it.
Your score is computed by fixed, versioned rules. Every answer maps to a defined score in one of eight dimensions, and your overall position is the average of the dimensions you answered. No AI model decides your score. The rules version is shown on your results page.
The result is a structured self-assessment to help trustees decide what to look at next. It is not a Charity Commission rating, an audit, an accreditation, or legal advice. It points you at the foundations worth putting in place first.
The Check works without an account. We store your answers against an anonymous identifier so your results link works. We only keep contact details if you choose to save your results or create a workspace. The public facts about your charity come from the Charity Commission public register extract.
CharityControl is an independent product. We use public Charity Commission data. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Charity Commission.
Each area of the Check maps to the governance controls CharityControl monitors once you have a workspace. When you act on a weak area, the matching controls turn green.
