Recruitment to Executive and Standing Committees

The Standards Council aims to secure a broad and balanced membership of its Executive Committee and Standing Committees that is reflective of the CLD profession. Consideration will be given to the range of knowledge, experience and skills required, and to reflect the regions of Scotland and the legislative requirements around equality duties and gender balance. 

The Standards Council is a member-led body. While co-options to the Executive Committee may be considered to bring in people with particular specialist or technical expertise, with this exception, recruitment to the standing committees is from the membership body of the Standards Council. 

The Executive Committee oversees the processes for recruitment to itself and to the Standing Committees, and keeps them under review, to ensure that they reflect the Standards Council commitment to being a member-led professional body and to delivering effectively, equitably and efficiently on its remit, vision and mission.
