About

The Scrutiny Committee - Children and Education is one of four scrutiny committees at Somerset Council, responsible for providing a check and challenge function on decisions and policies made by the Executive. It oversees and develops areas related to children's social care, including safeguarding, looked-after children, fostering, and support for disadvantaged young people. The committee also scrutinises education matters, such as special educational needs, school admissions, facilities investment, and improving educational outcomes and skills for children and young people.
