Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee

The Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee, composed of councillors not on the cabinet, scrutinises council services and holds decision-makers to account. It focuses on areas including children's social care, safeguarding, education, and children's health and wellbeing. The committee also reviews policies, such as the Signs of Safety approach, and oversees improvement journeys for children's services. Members of the public can attend meetings, ask questions, and suggest topics for review.
