Corporate Governance

An integral part of our operations

Effective corporate governance is central to enabling the Policing and Community Safety Authority (PCSA) to complete its statutory duties with integrity in accordance with its statutory requirements. Corporate governance is an essential part of the proper and effective management of our organisation.

Good governance supports a culture and ethos that ensures behaviour delivered with integrity, a strong commitment to ethical values, and respect for the law.

Our Governance Framework describes the structures, policies and processes in place to carry out these duties. It also provides for objective assessment of management and corporate performance. The purpose of the Governance Framework is to ensure that systems of accountability and responsibility, and compliance arrangements, are effective, clear and identifiable.

The PCSA is subject to the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and the Civil Service Corporate Governance Standard. All relevant documents are available below.
