Children and Young People
The Children and Young People Scrutiny Commission’s remit includes scrutinising the work of the Children’s Services Directorate and working closely with the Learning Trust, a not for profit organisation, which has a contract with the Council to provide Education services until 2012.
Scrutiny Commissions dealing with education matters are required by the Local Government Act 2000 to have a minimum of four external voting representatives. These are made up of one Church of England representative, one Roman Catholic Church representative, and two parent-governor representatives. In addition, in Hackney a representative from the Jewish Community is also invited to join the Commission, with voting rights. The Commission also has a further three non-voting co-optees, including representatives from the Free Church Federal Council, Hackney School Governors Association and the North London Muslim Association.
