Continuous Monitoring
Monitoring is essential to ensure that reviews are not just a paper exercise.
Once a review is completed, and the recommendations are accepted by the full council an action plan is drawn up, and officers selected to implement the actions. Six months after this process the Scrutiny Review and Management Sub-Committee receive updates on the progress towards achieving these targets, and
where necessary ask questions as to why progress has not materialised. The table opposite is an example of a monitoring sheet used to keep track of progress, whilst the diagram on the left shows the monitoring process.
