The Children and Education Scrutiny Sub-Committee reviews and scrutinises the provision, planning, and management of services for children and young people in Tower Hamlets. This includes areas such as children's social care, safeguarding, education, early years, and youth services.
The committee's role is to provide overview and scrutiny, reviewing decisions and actions related to these functions. It advises the Mayor or Cabinet on key issues, makes recommendations for service improvements, and holds service providers to account when performance falls short. The sub-committee also considers matters affecting local residents and reports annually on its work.
