OSCR Management

Our work is directed by a Board which is appointed by Scottish Ministers following an open public appointments process.
The OSCR Board is responsible for our strategy and future direction, oversight and governance. Our Board Members act as ambassadors for OSCR, promoting our policies and values and bringing their specialist knowledge to the organisation.

The OSCR Board is supported by approximately 50 staff working at our office in Dundee.  Corporate decision making that affects our daily operations is delegated to the Senior Management Team (SMT), chaired by David Robb, OSCR Chief Executive.

Our work with the Scottish Government

Scottish Government Ministers have ultimate responsibility for policy in relation to charity legislation and third sector policy. We have a Framework Agreement with the Scottish Government which establishes our relationship and provides the overarching framework for policy and corporate engagement within which the two organisations operate.

We work closely with the Scottish Government's Charity Law Team, which has responsibility for implementing charity legislation.
