Scrutiny 'Good Practice' and 'External Witness' guides 

The Scrutiny Good Practice Guide (PDF 127KB) provides Councillors and Council officers with advice, guidance and practical steps on how to achieve successful scrutiny. It is based on experience of scrutiny in Redbridge to date, best practice research and examples from other local authorities.

The External Witness Guide (PDF 61.9 KB) provides guidance to individuals or who have requested to give evidence at a Scrutiny committee or a working group.  The term ‘witness’ is not as daunting as it sounds and simply means talking to Councillors about an issue in which you have an interest or an expertise in order for them to gain a better understanding.
