We have both a Housing ALMO and a trust who run our libraries and leisure
department. They're legally separate organisations, so both have a
notification. Given the Commissioner's occasional reluctance to give
definitive answers about who should and who shouldn't notify (and who should
have a publication scheme for that matter), it's probably not a
disproportionate effort to knock one out. It might be erring on the side of
caution, but it's more sensible to put one in place now than have explain to
an auditor or awkward correspondent
You can see many fine examples of ALMO notifications (including the Wigan
Housing one) if you search the register.
