Useful Documentation
The Overview and Scrutiny Team in Hartlepool have produced a number of guides detailed and downloadable below that you may find useful:-
Overview and Scrutiny: An Introductory Guide
A short leaflet that provides a basic introduction into how scrutiny operates and is structured in Hartlepool.
A useful guide for those members of the public and other stakeholders asked to appear as witnesses at Scrutiny meetings, to either answer questions or give written evidence to aid Members in forming their recommendations to the Authority's Cabinet or Council.
Quick Guide to Councillor Call for Action
Mainly aimed at Councillors, this guide explains the mechanism for the consideration of issues under the Councillor Call for Action (CCfA) legislation.
Scrutiny Co-ordinating Committee can exercise their right to 'Call In' a decision that has been made by the Executive. The Call In procedure can be used to prevent decisions being implemented until they have been discussed by Members of Scrutiny Co-ordinating Committee or, in some cases full Council, who can make recommendations and refer the decision back for reconsideration if there is evidence to argue that a decision is flawed in some way.
This process can lead to an improved decision making process.
For hard copies of any of the above documents please contact the Scrutiny Team.
