That the Scrutiny Management
Board:-
 
(a)    
Notes and welcomes the recent programme of training
undertaken;
 
(b)    
Considers that it would be useful to complement the
CfGS training with internal training by
officers in respect of understanding local
government data and performance indicators.
 
(Reason for
Decisions – To meet the Constitutional requirements for the
Scrutiny Management Board to demonstrate its strategic
responsibility for the Scrutiny function, its overall
responsibility for the direction and management of Scrutiny, and to
fulfil its obligation to overseeing the
co-ordination of scrutiny members’ learning and
development.)
 
(Alternative Options
Considered –Not to
undertake or review the undertaking of effective training for
scrutiny members - however this would not demonstrate the
Board’s strategic responsibility, or provide the necessary
skills to develop the ability of members to provide effective
scrutiny of the Council’s processes.)
