Scrutiny Explained
Scrutiny Explained
The Scrutiny function is a process to check that Tameside residents receive the best possible services from the Council and its partners. It aims to improve those services by monitoring the work of the Council and partners and making recommendations on the way services are provided. It also has specific responsibilities to provide a scrutiny function for local NHS Trusts.
In Tameside there are four Scrutiny Panels made up of Local Councillors. The Panels are responsible for looking at Council policies, procedures and services, as well as looking at the Council’s partnership working with other Agencies. They look at what is working well, what further improvements can be made and then make recommendations to the appropriate Executive Cabinet member.
Scrutiny bodies do not make the decisions. This is the responsibility of the Executive and full Council.

Tameside's Scrutiny Panels want to engage with the people of Tameside and find out your views on services that the Council and other organisations provide. You can have your say and suggest a topic that you believe needs investigating.
Topics should relate to a service, event or issue that the Council has a significant stake in, or which the Council has an influence over.
