About

·       Co-ordinate the Scrutiny Work Programme   ·       Major infrastructure projects that crosscut Scrutiny Panels  ·       WMCA interface - Interface for the purposes of Scrutiny Board is defined, as including the relationship and interactions the Council has with the Combined Authority, particularly strategy and policy impacting on Wolverhampton.  ·       Medium Term Financial Strategy (overall oversight on Revenue/Capital/Assets)  ·       Overall performance   ·       Our City, Our Plan, the council’s strategic framework for levelling up  ·       Pre-Decision – If an item needs to come for pre-decision, which cannot go to the relevant Scrutiny Panel for logistical reasons such as timing or the agenda already being at capacity, then Scrutiny Board can instead consider the item. Some pre-decision items may always need to come to Scrutiny Board such as the Medium Term Financial Strategy.  ·       Levelling Up  ·       Call-in  ·       Petitions  ·       Wolverhampton Pound  ·       Oversight of Select Committee work – reporting on outcomes. Scrutiny Review Groups and Select Committees should clearly state in their terms of reference if they should report to the parent Scrutiny Panel or Scrutiny Board. To avoid duplication, it should not be both.  ·       All Council Priorities - Oversight
