The Code of Corporate Governance is the corporate governance framework within which the Commissioner and the Chief Constable operate and consists of:
- A summary document of the Code of Corporate Governance.
- A Statement of Corporate Governance which confirms how the seven core principles will be implemented.
- A Scheme of Corporate Governance which defines the parameters within which the corporations sole will conduct their business
- Separate policy and procedures for each corporation sole, with protocols and other governance documents where appropriate.
The Annual Governance Statement forms part of the annual accounts and reports publicly on how governance arrangements comply with the Code of Corporate Governance and how the two corporations sole have monitored their effectiveness and what changes are planned. Prior to 2025-26 the Commissioner and the Chief Constable issued a single Joint Annual Governance Statement each year. Since 2025-26 the two corporations sole have published individual statements. The Chief Constable’s annual statements from 2025-26 onwards can be found on the Devon & Cornwall Police website.
