Decision details

The Board was presented with the Work Programmes for the Scrutiny Management Board and the four scrutiny committees for 2024/25.

It was requested that agreement in principle be given to the Community, Cultural and Corporate Services Scrutiny Committee to establish an evidence day or task group to further investigate the partnership working topic scheduled for March 2025. It was noted that any such arrangement would need to be mindful of the upcoming pre-election period in March 2025 to ensure the work is completed in a timely manner. It was suggested if an evidence day/task group materialises that the terms of reference is shared with the Chair of the Scrutiny Management Board in the first instance.

(i)  Scrutiny Management Board's own work programme and those of the four scrutiny committees for 2024/25 be approved.

(ii)  Request to establish an evidence day or task group to further investigate the partnership working topic in principle, be agreed.

(iii)  Update on the activity of the Political Governance Working Group be noted.
