The purpose of the Council’s scrutiny
committees is to review the performance of local services, to
scrutinise decisions and actions taken on matters within their
terms of reference, to contribute to the review and development of
council policy, and to make recommendations to enhance and improve
service delivery for residents.
The council’s scrutiny committees will
act as a ‘critical friend’, offering constructive
challenge to ensure that local services are delivered effectively
and efficiently, making the best use of resources.
In carrying out their work, the committees
will have regard to the council’s missions, priorities, and
ways of working. Scrutiny Committees will consider the needs and
priorities of local people, make use of evidence to inform their
findings, examine opportunities for embedding best practice in
council services, and will seek to promote equalities, joined up
working, and early intervention and prevention approaches.
