Scrutiny at Staffordshire County Council: Get Involved

Community engagement is central to the work of Scrutiny Committees and Panels at Staffordshire County Council and ensures that the recommendations made by our Committees and Panels are reflectice of what the people of Staffordshie feel, and that services are delivered in response to these views.

We welcome and encourage your involvement in the scrutiny process and there are a number of ways in which you can get involved.

Scrutiny Meetings

Except on rare occasions, scrutiny meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity to listen to proceedings. There may also be opportunities to contribute directly to a scrutiny review depening on the nature of the work being undertaken.

The Scrutiny Work Programme

You can contribute to the annual work programmes of the Committees/Panels by suggestiong a topic for scrutiny review.  All suggestions will be considered, taking into account that scrutiny activity is focussed on corporate priorities and improving services.  Suggestions can be made by contacting your local County Councillor, or by contacting the Scrutiny and Performance Team.

Scrutiny Reviews

As part of the scrutiny reviews Committees/Panels may undertake consultation with service users.
