We have a variety of frameworks, rules and terms of reference which govern our work.


OLC documents

The relationship between the OLC, the MoJ and the LSB – and the financial relationship and accountabilities which exist between the MoJ and the OLC – is set out in the framework document, which provides the strategic framework for how the relationships with our partner organisations operate.

The Schedule of Matters Reserved and Scheme of Delegations set out the powers and responsibilities of the OLC and Legal Ombudsman.

Terms of reference

The terms of reference set out the rules which the OLC must follow, and the responsibilities of each committee.
