Search Panel Agendas and Minutes
The Services for Children and Young People Scrutiny Panel was created at the Annual Business Council Meeting held on 23rd May 2006, and reflects changes to the service provision following the introduction of the Children Act 2004 in response to "Every Child Matters."
This means that the Panel has scrutiny responsibilities for the Services to Children and Young People Service Area and the cabinet warrants of office relating to Children and Young People and Lifelong Learning. This includes all education services, schools, educational achievements, childrens' health, social work, looked after children, the Youth Service and the Youth Offending Services.
As well as undertaking far reaching policy reviews, the Panel will also be monitoring the achievement and success for the Council's Building Schools for the Future propsals, Key Stage and GCSE results and the outcome of service inspections and assessments.
The membership of the Scrutiny Panel includes non-executive councillors together with places for six co-opted members representing Parent Governors, The Church of England, Roman Catholic Church and two places for other faiths. Through the Tameside Multi Faith Network the Panel has managed to recruit representatives of the Muslin and Hindu faiths to take these places.
