The CYPCS’s financial statements for 2023-24 report a total remuneration cost (including employer’s costs) of £1,214,000 for the financial year, which included the Commissioner’s salary costs of £132,000 and £7,000 spent on temporary staff to support the participation work for the delivery of the Commissioner’s strategic plan. Based on a total remuneration cost of £1,207,000 for the Commissioner and her 26 permanent staff (i.e. excluding the £7,000 spent on temporary staff), this would suggest that the remuneration costs for the Commissioner and 15 FTE staff could be up to £1,265,137 in 2025-26 (adjusted for inflation). 54.
