 <title>SPSO response to consultation on proposals to update ‘On Board – A Guide for Board Members of Public Bodies in Scotland’</title>
 <link>http://www.spso.org.uk/media-centre/news-releases/spso-response-consultation-proposals-update-%E2%80%98-board-%E2%80%93-guide-for-board-mem</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Our response to this Scottish Government Public Bodies Unit consultation emphasises the role that&amp;nbsp;the guide should play in highlighting to board members the importance to good corporate governance of effective complaints handling.&amp;nbsp; A &amp;lsquo;valuing complaints&amp;rsquo; culture - with a pro-active approach to effective resolution, monitoring and learning from complaints - is an essential part of effective governance of our public services.&lt;/p&gt;
