The Centre for Public Scrutiny Launch Oversight & Scrutiny Survey

As local government practitioners, the CfPS would like to hear your views on their 2019 oversight and scrutiny survey spread the word to your fellow council officers and members. The CfPS want to have – and want you to have – the fullest possible picture of scrutiny across the country so they can work on improving it for all.

Why should you devote your time to filling this survey?

• Because, the survey takes less than 15 minutes and it will help the CfPS and you - to understand the challenges you face, and how you can overcome them;
• Because, together, the responses will give you the kinds of insight you need to reflect on how you do your work in light of the new Government scrutiny guidance;
• Because having robust information about scrutiny and its effectiveness helps us to argue the case for scrutiny and its role both to national bodies, and to the leaderships of your own authorities.

And if that isn't enough to convince you… when you've completed the survey, you'll be entered into a draw for free tickets to our Driving Smarter Scrutiny conference on December 3rd (a saving of £275)! (run by the CfPS not LLG)

The closing date is the end of the day on 15^th November 2019. You can find the survey here

The CfPS will be publishing their initial findings at their conference in December, and a detailed report setting out more comprehensive information towards the end of January
