Poor positioning tops list of street fundraisers' 'most common misdemeanours' | Third Sector:The PFRA publishes the latest compliance and enforcement data on charities that incur penalties for breaking its rules

The most common misdemeanours by street fundraisers in the past year were positioning themselves in the wrong place, not wearing ‘team leader’ badges and not explaining themselves to donors in clear and simple terms, according to data from the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association.

The latest compliance and enforcement data shows how street fundraisers have fared since the PFRA struck an agreement with its members in September 2012 to implement a penalty points system for charities and agencies that break the PFRA’s rules.
