Scrutiny Committee

This afternoon I attended a meeting of the council's Scrutiny Committee. This was an interesting and varied meeting. I asked questions about the council's ability to deliver the Curriculum for Excellence in the Elms Secure unit. I also asked about the HMIe report into Community Learning and Development in the Baldragon Academy catchment area.

I was pleased to see that the council is committed to 'impartiality, openness and transparency' in corporate governance and these are essential prerequisites. I hope that the Administration will remember this in the future.
