The overview &
scrutiny committee (OSC) is the main co-ordinating scrutiny
body. It appoints three scrutiny
sub-committees and is responsible for their overall management:
·
Education
& Children’s Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee
·
Healthy
Communities Scrutiny Sub-Committee
·
Housing
& Community Safety Scrutiny Sub-Committee
OSC examines and
monitors the performance of services provided by the council and
other agencies. It can review the
council's budget and policies and question cabinet members about
how they are improving services. OSC
has specific responsibility for scrutinising matters in respect of
the policy and budget framework, regeneration, human resources,
customer access issues and the council’s equalities and
diversity programmes.
Most scrutiny meetings are
livestreamed. The individual meeting recordings can be reached
here on the meeting pages and they are all hosted at http://bit.ly/1H3eyY6
