SCVO working group recommends no direct replacement for Fundraising Standards Board | Third Sector

SCVO working group recommends no direct replacement for Fundraising Standards Board | Third Sector: "A working group convened by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations has recommended that the soon-to-be-abolished Fundraising Standards Board should not be replaced in Scotland and responsibility for fundraising should instead sit with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and charities themselves.

The working group, which was established in December to decide how best to regulate fundraising north of the border and is chaired by Theresa Shearer, chief executive of Enable Scotland, is recommending that greater responsibility be placed on fundraising charities to self-regulate and that OSCR be given an "enhanced, ombudsman-style role"."
