The purpose of the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018 is to improve the representation of women on the boards of Scottish public authorities.
The Act was made following Scottish Government consultation in 2014 on how to shape proposals on using legislation to achieve gender equality on the boards of public bodies and further consultation on a draft Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Bill in 2017. The Act sets a gender representation objective for the non-executive member component of public boards. The objective is that 50% of non-executive members are women.
