About

The Council's Overview and Scrutiny functions are fulfilled by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, except for health-related matters which are the responsibility of the Health Scrutiny Committee.  These Committees have a number of specific functions including:   ·  Supporting the work of the Cabinet and the Council as a whole by considering and making recommendations through the scrutiny review process, ·  Scrutinising key decisions made by the Cabinet and other decision-makers and holding them to account. They have the power to consider key decisions made, but not yet implemented, by the Cabinet and other decision-makers and can ask the decision-maker, through the process of Call-In , to reconsider those decisions.  The Overview and Scrutiny Committee and/or Health Scrutiny Committee may also refer matters direct to the Assembly if they consider that a decision may be contrary to the Budget or Policy Frameworks. ·  Reviewing matters relating to a wide range of partner organisations, including those relating to health, education and to law and order, to ensure that the public authorities that operate in Barking and Dagenham are acting in an effective and co-ordinated manner and in the public interest.   The Overview and Scrutiny Committee typically meets every month on a Wednesday evening at 7.00pm at the Town Hall, Barking.
