A key element of the overview and scrutiny function is the call-in facility, this allows for the scrutiny of cabinet decisions prior to their implementation. The call-in facility is designed to ensure transparency of the decision-making process and enables consideration as to whether a decision is appropriate.

When a decision is made a record of decisions will be published within two working days of the cabinet meeting. These will state the day on which the decisions were published and specify that the decision will come into force, and may then be implemented, on the expiry of five working days unless the call-in procedure is triggered.
The procedure can be triggered by:
  • one third of the whole number of members of an overview and scrutiny committee or


  • one third of the whole number of members of members of the overview and Scrutiny Co-ordinating Committee or


  • any six members of the Council
The overview and scrutiny committee may recommend that the Cabinet reconsiders the decision or refer the matter to full Council.
