The consultation is an opportunity to provide your views on the Scottish Government proposals to improve the current law on the dissolution of Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations (SCIOs).
Recommendations from a report prepared by a working group have informed the consultation. The group was formed to examine proposals from the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
The consultation has been divided into questions across 4 topics:
- Changes to the SCIO dissolution application process
- Removal of SCIOs from the Scottish Charity Register
- Restoration of SCIOs to the Scottish Charity Register
- Assessing impact
The consultation closes on 11 September 2025 and depending on the outcome, it is intended that the proposed amendment regulations will be introduced before the Scottish Parliament in early 2026.
