A national charity, expert in all aspects of governance and scrutiny in order to create more accountable and transparent decision making

Join us at this at this timely event where we explore the current state of local government reform (LGR) and the evolving role of scrutiny. In the session, we will check in on recent developments, share insights from the front lines, and look ahead to what’s coming next.

Catherine Howe, CfGS chair and the Chief Executive of Adur and Worthing Councils, says that creating a new form of regional government requires a similar focus on how our local democracy works

Camilla and Ian share their thoughts on why scrutiny's value can't be measured in the weight of reports or the footprint of its meetings alone

We have a range of learning and development opportunities – free and paid – for that may be useful if you have recently seen changes in your council following elections
