OSCR’s Inquiries: Dominant behaviour in charities
Created: 07/08/2024
News/Events Category: Governance
The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) have published a new report outlining the negative effects that can occur when there is dominant behaviour in charities.
The report, Learning from OSCR's Inquiries: Dominant Behaviours Iin Charities, looked into the effect that one person (or a small group of people) making all the decisions in a charity can have. It says dominant behaviour can prevent charity trustees, as a whole, from acting collectively and doing their job properly or force the charity trustees to legitimise their decisions at a later date.
The inquiry was carried out in response to concerns from the public, charity staff, and other sources.
OSCR have identified several common themes and lessons that charities, and those who work with charities, can learn from to help improve their governance and avoid potential problems.
The report discusses:
- Why dominant behaviour arises in charities
- Why dominance is a problem
- How to prevent dominance from happening
- How you should tackle dominant behaviour
- Further sources of help and guidance
