Background Information |

Indicative agenda schedules are set out in section 5 of the work programme.
The Forward Plan starting May 2015 which outlines decisions to be taken by the City Executive Board or Council will be published as a supplement agenda.

Why is it on the agenda? |
|
Members are asked to select which Forward Plan items they wish to pre-scrutinise at the 29 April Scrutiny Committee meeting, based on the following criteria:
- Is the issue controversial / of significant public interest? - Is it an area of high expenditure? - Is it an essential service / corporate priority? - Can Scrutiny influence and add value?
A maximum of three items for pre-scrutiny will normally apply. The Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adult Policy has already been prioritised for pre-scrutiny.

Who has been invited to comment? |
