Scrutiny Reviews

 

Scrutiny Reviews are indepth investigations of a specific issue.

 

A review may involve oral and written evidence from key stakeholders, consider current performance and research notable and best practice by other service providers. It may also involve talking to policy makers, managers and consumers looking at service delivery on the ground in order to develop recommendations for improvement.

 

When a review is completed, the Scrutiny Committee will agree agree upon its conclusions and recommendations and outline these in a report which is presented to the Cabinet. This will request that the Cabinet responds to the issues raised in the report.

 

A number of reviews have been undertaken by the Vale's four Scrutiny Commitees in its 2005/6 work programme. The following completed reviews are available to view or download as PDF files.
