Who
CfGS was asked to support get new members in getting up to speed with the specialist skills and principles underpinning scrutiny. CfGS ran a development session in Hinckley and Bosworth in order to induct new members into the basics of scrutiny. They learned how to discuss and interact in a scrutiny committee versus other forums like full council or with their friends and family – thereby making clear the particular nuances to the scrutiny committee arena. The format included an introductory presentation, then discussions in small groups, before bringing the group back together for a Q&A session.
“Members have been trying to get involved more in the process of scrutiny, which wouldn’t have happened without the session.”
Rebecca Owen, Democratic Services Officer, Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council
