Establishment of an Education and Children's Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee

The committee was scheduled to consider a report from the Strategic Director of Legal and Governance Services regarding the establishment of a new Education and Children's Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee. This sub-committee would focus on overseeing the council's functions related to education and children's services. The report pack indicated that representatives of voluntary aided sector organisations and parent governors would have attendance, speaking, and voting rights on matters relating to the council's education functions. They would be entitled to speak but not vote on any other matters. The Harrow Youth Parliament was also to be represented.
