Member Training
The Chairman to lead a discussion about specific Overview and Scrutiny Member training requirements.
Minutes:
The Committee considered the future training needs of all members involved in Overview and Scrutiny building upon the series of training sessions provided for Scrutiny Members during the shadow year.
Since then, Members had received training on the basic principles of Overview and Scrutiny at a training session facilitated by North West Employers Organisation on 27 April 2009.
Members now recognised that further training was required to refresh knowledge already gained from previous training sessions and to gain specific skills to develop techniques, such a scoping and questioning, to improve performance.
RESOLVED – That the Chairman and Vice Chairman and Councillor G Baxendale be requested to meet the Member Development Officer and Senior Scrutiny Officer to discuss training needs for Overview and Scrutiny Members and bring forward to the next meeting, proposals for a training programme for the remainder of the current Municipal year
