The Policy Committee advises us on policies which reflect the best interests of the third sector in Scotland. It is the job of SCVO to take these policies and represent the shared interests of the third sector to government, local authorities, the private sector and the public at large.

The remit of the SCVO policy committee is:

• to generate and receive policy papers on subjects of importance or concern to third sector in Scotland
• to determine policies which reflect the best interests of Scottish third sector organisations (for endorsement by the SCVO Management Board)
• to represent the interests of Scottish sector to government, local authorities, the private sector and the public at large
• to comment on the strategic or forward plans and priorities of SCVO to the SCVO Management Board
• to set up and receive reports from its sub committees
• to agree on co-options to the Policy Committee.

The Policy Committee will comprise:

Not more than 24 Members, elected by postal ballot and confirmed at the AGM

Two ex officio members, the SCVO Convener and Vice Convener

Not more than eight Co-opted Members, primarily to reflect fields of interest which are not otherwise represented
