Governance Framework

This document sets out the broad governance framework within which WICS operates. 

Published Last Updated

WICS’ governance framework comprises the structures, responsibilities, policies, and procedures through which the organisation fulfils its statutory duties as an executive non-departmental public body (NDPB). 

It includes the Framework Document agreed with the Scottish Government, the Scheme of Delegation, the Rules of Procedure, the Code of Conduct for Board Members, and the Rules of Procedure for the Board. The framework ensures WICS maintains the principles of good governance: openness, accountability, proportionality, and continuous improvement.
