Board Briefing

Board Briefing

Strategic orientation, governance questions and assurance — typically 60–90 minutes. Not legal advice, an audit opinion or an implementation programme.

60–90 minutes · Typically up to 20 participants

Overview

Overview

This board briefing provides a concise orientation to the post-For Women Scotland environment and the EHRC Services Code. It focuses on organisational implications, governance questions and the limits of board-level assurance rather than operational detail.

Choose this briefing when board or executive members need a shared strategic baseline before receiving recommendations or approving implementation.

What we cover

What we cover

  • The legal landscape — the central change and important continuities.
  • EHRC Code status — what statutory guidance is and is not.
  • Legal relationships — employment, services, public functions, associations and membership.
  • Material exposure — people, services, facilities, data, reputation and delivery.
  • Proportionality and impact — what boards should expect decision-makers to evidence.
  • Governance — ownership, escalation, review and assurance.
  • Board questions — what to ask before approving significant organisational change.
