Governance and Corporate Information

The RMA’s remit is determined by the legal requirements set out in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 and more explicitly in the Risk Assessment and Minimisation (Accreditation Scheme) (Scotland) Order 2006.

Our Chief Executive is accountable to 1) the Scottish Government through the Criminal Justice Directorate, (Offender Management Strategy Division, OMSD), who act as our sponsor and funder, and 2) the RMA Board who provide strategic direction and monitor our progress.
