SPCB Supported Bodies Landscape Review Committee

The SPCB Supported Bodies Landscape Review Committee was established in December 2024. It was set up in response to the findings of a Finance and Public Administration Committee inquiry into Scotland's commissioner landscape. The Committee has been asked by Parliament to review and develop a framework for SPCB supported bodies including by:

defining how these bodies can be held to account and scrutinised
setting stronger criteria for creating new supported bodies
identifying how services and offices can be shared between these bodies

It is expected to sit until 30 September 2025.
