The Centre for Public
Scrutiny has launched the Good Scrutiny Awards 2008 to celebrate the
achievements of non executives involved in scrutiny who take on the
responsibility of holding decision makers to account.
There
has been wide acceptance of the benefit of effective scrutiny with
recognition that public confidence and trust can be increased if there
are clear checks and balances in place and ways to enable the voice of
the public.
Scrutiny and public accountability have firm
footings across, education, health, transport, utilities and
government. These awards seek to celebrate the achievements of
individuals, committees, boards and groups from any sector which are
actively engaged in scrutiny in line with CfPS’s principles of good
scrutiny.
The awards will be presented at the end of CfPS’s Annual Conference on the 10th June 2008.
