Governance

Transparent

We are answerable to Scottish Government Ministers, and will participate in our annual accountability review with full transparency and involvement of the public and all our stakeholders

Review and refine framework

We will continue to review and develop our governance framework, so it is effective, fit for purpose and ensures we are a well-run organisation.

Develop Board and committees

We will develop our Board and its Members through the provision of high quality information and maintaining good practice so that all Board Members are equipped to fulfil their roles effectively.

Risk and assurance

We will ensure our corporate governance addresses the risks associated with service delivery and the achievement of our strategy. We will develop and embed our risk management with Board Members oversight, implementing the recommendations of our Internal Auditors’ reviews to ensure the provision of assurance to the Board.

Demonstrate corporate values and behaviours

We will demonstrate the principles of the new Code of Conduct for Board members’, address any conflicts of interest and apply best practice in relation to gifts, hospitality, sponsorship, expenses and handling public money.
