Scottish Government consultation on charity regulation review
- Area of Work: Policy and Research
- Type: News Item
- Published: 6th June 2024
The Scottish Government are seeking your view on whether there should be a review of charity regulation and what this should look like.
The Scottish Government want to know your opinion on whether there should be a review of charity regulation and, if so, what you think the purpose and parameters should be.
In 2019, they ran a consultation about proposals the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) had made on improvements to the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. In response to that consultation, some people reported that they wanted a wider review of charity regulation.
You can find the consultation and more information on it here. This consultation asks 10 short questions about a review. It is split into three sections:
- The need for a review and the purpose of a review
- The parameters for a review – What should it cover and not cover?
- Technical areas for review
After the consultation is closed, they will publish responses, where they have been given permission to do so. This report will summarise the findings based on all responses submitted. It will be published on the Scottish Government website and you may be notified about it if you choose to share your email address with them. You can also join their consultation mailing list where they regularly list newly published analysis reports (as well as new consultations).
The consultation closes at midnight on 22 July 2024.
They are running webinars during the consultation period. Please email charityreview@gov.scot if you want more information about the webinars. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about this consultation, please email charityreview@gov.scot.
