Good Scrutiny Awards 2008

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.
