rate your authority

Ever wondered what a local authority should be aiming for in its member induction programme? Rate yours by using this 5 minute tool. At the end you will be given a percentage score on how well your Council does. This check list was developed using best-practice from the IDeA and local authorities who lead in this area, such as 21st Century Exemplars, Hackney, Leicestershire and Hull. If you've scored 100% for your authority let us know!

21st Century scrutiny should operate beyond the authority and work with local public services more generally, finding solutions to shared problems and not just focusing on what the authority itself does. Use this 5 minute tool to assess how scrutiny operates in your council compiled with advice and guidance published on the Centre for Public Scrutiny website.
