Further Detail in Relation to the Report
There are no specific requirements or direction on how public bodies should undertake effectiveness reviews. The Authority considers a range of relevant documents including ‘On Board’ guidance, the Scottish Government Audit and Assurance Committee Handbook and the CIPFA Good Governance Standard for Public Services.
The committee effectiveness survey for 2024/25 sought feedback in four key areas:
- Reporting to committees
- Committee priorities and progress
- Members’ capability and overall operation of the committee
- Delivery against the Terms of Reference
Five of the current six members of the Forensic Services Committee completed the survey. Three responses were submitted by stakeholders, however no feedback was specific or relevant to the Forensic Services Committee.
