The Organisation of the Scottish Labour Party is a body established under the national rules of the UK Labour Party.
The Scottish Executive Committee is the governing body of the Scottish Labour Party, responsible for administrative matters and strategic policy direction. The SEC officially meets every second month, with much of day to day party business and operations undertaken in groups and commissions. There was an election in 2017 and the members have changed. Jamie Glackin is no longer a member.
The SEC has three different sections – CLPs (members), Elected Members and Trade Unions & Affiliates.

The Scottish Policy Forum (SPF) is a body of the Scottish Labour Party responsible for developing a rolling policy programme on devolved matters.
The Scottish Annual Conference approves policies of the SPF programme every year with the Scottish Executive Committee (in conjunction with a committee from the Scottish Parliament Labour Group) deciding which items of the programme are to be incorporated in Labour's manifesto for the Scottish Parliament elections.
The SPF policy-making process is led by the 80 members elected from all sections of the party. The SPF establishes policy commissions to draw together policy discussion documents for consultation over three stages.
The SPF is subordinate and feeds reports to the National Policy Forum.
The General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party, subordinate to the General Secretary of the Labour Party, is the administrative head and the most senior permanent staff member of the Scottish Labour Party.
