Article summary

The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has published its Annual Report 2020–21, which includes a performance overview, an accountability report, a remuneration and staff report, an independent auditor’s report and a direction for Scottish Ministers. The report details the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the OSCR’s response to it, which involved supporting charities, providing well-being support to staff, updating digital technology and the digital strategy and working with outdated legislation. It also recommends that Scottish Ministers complete and act on the recommendations of the ‘Review of the Governance of NHS Charities’ and adopt a more strategic approach to the sector.
