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.
