Corporate Improvement
Scrutiny Committee (CISC)
This Committee was
established in 2023, succeeding the Overview & Scrutiny
Committee, to focus on supporting delivery of the Council’s
recovery and improvement programme. It scrutinises a range of
policy, financial and performance issues and makes reports and
recommendations to the Cabinet or full Council.
The Committee also
scrutinises the implementation of the community and corporate
performance plans, as well as investigating broad policy matters,
including reviewing decisions taken or to be taken by the cabinet
or Chief Officers under delegated powers.
The Committee is
responsible for co-ordinating the consideration of ‘member
call-ins' where a Councillor requests that a particular issue is
considered.
The CISC sets up task
and finish groups to look into issues in more detail and provide
reports and recommendations to the main committee, which may then
refer issues on to Cabinet or other decision makers in the
Council.
