To understand the current relationship between the CoS and the RWA it is helpful to have a little background of some of the factors that have influenced how the relationship has emerged. From a residents perspective ideally the CoS and RWA should work together so that residents have, as much as it is possible, the same rights and proceedures under both administrations.
