OSC performs an essential democratic function
by examining and monitoring the performance of services provided by
the Council and other agencies. The Committee can review and
critically assess the Council’s budget and policies, whist
holding cabinet members to account by conducting detailed
interviews in how they are improving services.
Scrutiny meetings are accessible to the
public, whilst also being livestreamed and recorded. The individual
meeting recordings can be reached here on the meeting pages and are
hosted on the Council’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/southwarkcouncil/.
