Participation in The Council's statutory scrutiny activities
In fulfilling its statutory scrutiny functions, the Audit and Governance Committee may invite people or organisations from outside the Council to address it, discuss issues of local concern and/or answer questions. It may for example, wish to hear from residents, stakeholders and Elected Members and officers in other parts of the public sector and shall invite such people to attend.
As part of the statutory scrutiny process, the Committee will from time to time request the attendance of a representative from either the Community Safety Partnership or NHS bodies. These organisations will be obliged to send a representative to attend, providing sufficient notice has been given.
