Plain English definition
of
Statutory organisations
from
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
Organisations that have a legal responsibility to do something, and whose role and powers are defined by law. They are different to voluntary organisations, which may provide some of the same services but which are not set up by law. Your local council is an example of a statutory organisation, as are the NHS trusts in your area. Local charities, care agencies and care homes are not statutory organisations.
