Planning and governance
To support the Chief Executive in both her statutory responsibilities and her duties as an Accounting Officer, the UKSC and JCPC's internal governance structure comprises a Management Board, an Audit Committee, a Remuneration Committee and a Health and Safety Committee. The administration's annual Business Plan, Mission and Strategic Objectives can be found below.
Complementing the work of the Management Board, a Strategic Advisory Board was established in 2016, comprising the President, the Deputy President, one other Justice appointed by the President, the Chief Executive, the Director of Corporate Services, the Registrar and the UKSC's two Non-Executive Directors. Its remit is to consider the strategic direction of the Court and to approve and review the UKSC's Strategic Framework. This board has no direct role in managing the judicial or non-judicial functions of the Court.
