Where a Member Authority’s Overview and Scrutiny committee or a full Council requires reconsideration of the decision by the Joint Committee the Joint Committee shall arrange for the decision to be reconsidered in the light of comments made by the Committee or the full Council and the final decision of the Joint Committee shall not be subject to call in.

10.3 Any decision of the Administering Authority called in for Scrutiny before it is implemented shall not be implemented until the Scrutiny procedures of either the Parties whose membership has called in the decision has been completed.

Scrutiny Arrangements.

22.2 Committee Members and their officer advisers shall fully co-operate with the relevant Scrutiny Committee of any of the Partner Authorities and shall, where requested, attend any meeting of any relevant Scrutiny Committee. The expectation would be that the Committee Members and their officer advisors attending any meeting of any relevant Scrutiny Committee will be those relevant to the decision to be discussed.
Scrutiny Arrangements. 3.1 The PP&E PDS committee has a statutory duty to meet in its capacity as the crime and disorder scrutiny at least once a year, however in practice, scrutiny in this area will take place each time the committee convenes (currently 5 times a year) to: • Scrutinise the work of the SBP as a whole, insofar as their activities relate to the SBP itself, by acting as a ‘critical friend’. For the avoidance of doubt, scrutiny will not extend to the separate statutory functions of the partner bodies, nor will it entail scrutiny of individual cases, and if issues arise that relate specifically to a particular partner agency, such issues should be referred to the governing body/s of the relevant organisation • Review or scrutinise progress against the priorities within the SBPS • Review or scrutinise referred crime and disorder Councillor Calls for Action (CCFA) • Make reports or recommendations to a responsible authority or to a co-operating person or body as appropriate, in so far as they relate to the work of the partnership itself • Devise an annual work plan programme at the beginning of each financial year
3.2 The Committee will exclude any matters (save those raised via a CCFA) which pertain to local policing and crime priorities, including local data monitoring, as these will be referred to the Safer Neighbourhood Board and Xxxx Panels, as the primary borough-level mechanism for local engagement and consideration.
3.3 In its capacity as the CDC, the PP&E PDS remains subject to the requirements of the Council’s Constitution including the Members’ Code of Conduct.
