Our governance
The SSRO’s governance arrangements are overseen by its Board, which consists of a Chair, five non-executive members and two executive members. The Board is responsible for the discharge of the SSRO’s functions; providing strategic leadership, direction, support and guidance; and overseeing the development and review of the SSRO’s aims and corporate objectives.
The Board is supported by the following sub-committees:
The Audit & Risk Assurance Committee provides scrutiny, oversight and assurance of risk management, information management, internal control and governance procedures to the Chief Executive, as Accounting Officer, and to the Board.
The Regulatory Committee oversees the SSRO’s discharge of the regulatory functions not reserved to the Board. Among its roles are: to approve the annual rates recommendation to the Secretary of State; to maintain strategic oversight of the review of legislation; and approve updates to the SSRO’s statutory guidance.
The People Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding: remuneration of staff; nominations to the Board; and the SSRO’s work to promote respect and fairness through its equality, inclusivity, and diversity activities.
Referral Committees. The Act requires that several of the SSRO’s functions, listed in Schedule 4, paragraph 10(3), must be exercised by a committee. The Act further states that such Committees must consist of three persons and at least one of the members must be an independent person who is not a member or employee of the SSRO. Committee members are appointed to individual referrals on a case-by-case basis.
The Executive Committee is responsible for the day-to-day management of the SSRO and assists the Chief Executive in the performance of his duties.
