Governance
This Governance Framework document has been prepared in line with the principles and requirements set out in the Corporate Governance Standard for the Civil Service taking into account the particular requirements of the Courts Service.
It brings together for the first time the legislation, policies, processes, culture and values by which the Courts Service is directed, administered and controlled.
The Framework enables us to monitor the achievement of our strategic objectives and to consider whether those objectives have led to the delivery of appropriate cost effective services which take account of the needs of court users, members of the judiciary and the wider public.
Our governance arrangements are reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to reflect current best practice in corporate governance and support us in delivering on our objectives effectively, efficiently and transparently.
