Information about Overview and Scrutiny Committee – Resources

Effective overview and scrutiny should:

 

·       provide constructive ‘critical friend’ challenge

·       amplify the voices and concerns of the public

·       be led by independent people who take responsibility for their role

·       drive improvement in public services and strategic decision-making

 

Successful scrutiny should enhance accountability and ensure transparency of decision-making, contribute to service improvement, and act as a check and balance on decision-makers. 

 

Although Overview and Scrutiny Committees do not take decisions, they have a role in policy development as well as holding the Executive to account.
