“We will live our values to deliver our functions efficiently, effectively and economically. While our remit is wide, and expanding, we aspire to deliver our business coherently and consistently across all functions.“

Rosemary Agnew, Scottish Public Services Ombudsman

The Strategic Plan 2020—2024 sets out the SPSO’s strategic aims under the themes of accessibility, access to justice, capacity and standards. 

The Ombudsman said: “The delivery of our strategy will be through our annual business plans, which set out the actions we take to achieve our higher aims. We recognise that in delivering our strategy, we are adding value by contributing to Scottish public service improvement and providing access to justice for users of those services. We understand both the complexity of our business and the challenges and risks SPSO and Scottish public services face over the coming years.”
