Governance and Structure

SCI's governance structure ensures that an appropriate range of skills and experience exists within the Board of Trustees and there is an open line of communication between Trustees and the Executive Director and team running the day-to-day business of the Society.

The governance structure and systems of SCI were reviewed by the Board over 2016/17 and changes are being implemented, with some matters being in transition, and all will be subject to regular monitoring and annual review.

The new governance structure of SCI is shown in the organisation chart below.

SCI adheres to the Good Governance Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector 2005 produced by the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO), endorsed by the UK's Charities Commission as a document 'to which all charities should aspire'. The Code is compliant with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements for charities, and relates closely to other important codes and standards.
