Public Bodies

The public bodies covered by the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 ("the Act") are required to produce their own Code of Conduct, based on the Model Code of Conduct for Members of the Boards of Devolved Public Bodies.  The resulting Codes are listed below along with links to the home pages of all of the bodies covered by the Act, and the Registers of Interests for their board members, where these are available.

Many of the documents linked to below are in PDF format.  If you are unable to view these on your computer, click here to download the most up-to-date version of the Adobe Reader program.

This list of bodies will change from time to time as new bodies are added to the remit of the Act and existing bodies are either removed from the remit of the Act or abolished altogether.  Where a body has been abolished or removed within the last five years, the date of that event and a reason is given alongside the name of the relevant body.

While care has been taken to ensure we only link to sites that are reputable, we cannot guarantee the content of them.  The inclusion of links to other websites is for convenience only and does not imply any endorsement of the content of such sites.
