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.
