Scrutiny

Scrutiny Handbook Revised

We have a new, easy to read, Scrutiny handbook to help you better understand the role of our Overview and Scrutiny unit.
This publication explains what Scrutiny does and what our vision is.

Additionally the handbook explains:
  • how to get an item on the agenda
  • what to expect before you attend a Scrutiny meeting
  • contains an explanation of what Scrutiny does and its statutory and local role in the democratic process
  • the changes that previous commissions have brought about
  • the work of the Overview and Scrutiny unit.
The Scrutiny handbook can be printed from its adobe acrobat format on this page. Alternatively you can contact us (see Get in touch tab at the top of the page) and we will post it out to you for free.
