Scrutiny Working Group - Disability & Lettings Project Page

Hi, all!

I'm back from leave today and just catching up on everything.

I've decided to shelve today's routine Monday meeting as there's not much to update from when I was away and most of us forgot anyway! No matter though as we can pick up as usual for next Monday, 16th at 11:30.

Scope & Plan Progress: We are still waiting for the Head of Service agreement to the Scrutiny Working Group Scope & Plan. Charlene reported that KWC has signed off on the form while I was away, but we haven't had a response from the Head of Lettings yet. I have chased up this morning to prompt for a quick response as the requested deadline was 2 weeks.

I'll update this page if/when there's any progress this week and we can discuss further in our next meeting.

See you Monday 16th!

I’ve gone through the Scope & Plan form with Charlene to make sure everything is clear and she’s made a number of suggestions to refine the scope before passing onto Heads of Service (as it’s likely they will request the same changes anyway, so we are saving a bit of time).

The updated copy is located to the right in the "Inspection Progress & Guidance" section, then under the "Planning Phase" folder.

Have a look at all the highlighted bits and respond with your thoughts and decision:
Please state clearly whether you ACCEPT these changes and you’re happy for it to progress to Heads of Service.
If you REJECT these changes, please make this clear and we can discuss further.

Thank you!

Brooke

1. One Community communications: The Scrutiny Panel (SP) are very pleased with the One Community Scrutiny Hub set up as it allows both their group and yours to see everything that’s going on at any one point in time. They are satisfied that this takes care of any communication needs going forward.
2. Meeting with Interim Scrutiny Panel: As far as meeting with them next week – as I had originally planned for you to do to “propose” your inspection topic – they collectively decided that this is no longer necessary but could be a part of the process in future on a case-by-case basis. They are happy for the SWG to carry on independently since they can already see the Inspection Proposal and the Scope & Plan document on OC.
3. NEXT MEETING Tuesday, 6^th May at 12:30: since we won’t be meeting with the SP next week, let’s move up our next session to continue the Scope & Plan document (and hopefully finish it!). I’ll keep the same time and try for Tuesday instead. As agreed, I will send you the Teams invite and copy-paste the link to the OC page.
4. FUTURE MEETINGS: I’m going to keep the Monday 12^th May at 12:30 slot in the calendar and I will make it recurring as long as everyone is happy for this to be our regular weekly meeting date for the time being?
