The ERW Scrutiny Councillor Group will meet in March

Scrutiny Councillors from across the six local authorities will meet on 9 March 2018.   The purpose of the group is to help ensure the best educational outcomes for children in the Education Through Regional Working (ERW) region by supporting effective scrutiny to

1. support consistent scrutiny across the six councils
2. share scrutiny good practice
3. encourage shared scrutiny approaches and avoid the duplication of scrutiny work
4. provide critical and objective challenge to ERW on topics of interest as required
5. contribute to the good and effective governance of ERW

Councillors on the 9 March will

• Look at educational outcomes across the region
• Receive updates on progress with measuring impact and the recently established Programme Board
• Look at the impact of poverty in rural Wales
• Look at the way forward for regional working

The Councillor Group will then write a letter to the ERW Joint Committee feeding back their thoughts and recommendations arising from this meeting.
