Overview & Scrutiny Committee

The main role of the Overview & Scrutiny Committee is to manage and co-ordinate all overview and scrutiny work undertaken by the three Scrutiny Panels and to take an overall view on budget and performance management.

The Overview & Scrutiny Committee will undertake enquiries into the budget and policy framework of the Council at a political and strategic level. It will adopt and deliver a work programme which reflects the priorities of the administration, corporate strategic objectives and the priorities of scrutiny members and the Island community.

The Committee will usually have bi-monthly public meetings.
