As of April 2025, SHR Board membership gender split is four women and five men with no current vacancies. Two men and one woman will stand down from the Board at the end of June 2025 and be replaced by a new member and a new Chair. The recruitment process is ongoing and expected to complete by June 2025. Find out more about our Board here.
During 2024/25 we have supported Scottish Ministers’ recruitment campaign to SHR’s Board. This included targeting people from diverse backgrounds and groups underrepresented on Scotland’s public bodies. We look forward to welcoming a new Chair and member during the summer. We will report on the impact of these appointments to the gender balance of SHR’s Board in April 2026.
In 2021/22 we committed to gender balance in our annual report. We continue that commitment and report on progress each year on our website and in our annual reports.
