Committees and work programmes
Scrutiny operates through an Overview and Scrutiny Committee and four standing panels. The powers of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and standing panels are set out in Part 2 (Article 6) of the council’s constitution.
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee is able to set up specialist panels to consider specific issues. The specialist panels have a fixed term and have to work to an agreed programme.
