The Corporate Policy Team leads on the core COSLA strategic objective of strengthening local democracy. It helps provide an underpin for the overall work that COSLA does on behalf of our member Councils to ensure Local Government in Scotland is properly and fairly recognised for all that it does as an equal sphere of the country’s democratic governance. The team aims to provide cohesion internally between the policy teams and business units in achieving the aims as set out in the COSLA plan and in accordance with the Verity House Agreement.
