The
Policy and Performance Improvement Committee (PPI) is committed to
the development of a respectful relationship between itself, the
Cabinet and external partners. The work of the PPI Committee, its
Working Groups and Call-In Sub-Committee is underpinned by the
following six principles:
1.
To positively and proactively contribute to the
effective delivery of the Council’s aims and objectives,
reflecting the vision and priorities of the Council, and ensuring
accountability.
2.
To develop a respectful relationship between the
Committee, the Cabinet and external partners.
3.
Enable purposeful, constructive and challenging
performance review.
4.
To be open to external outlook and input.
5.
To consider cost effectiveness in the discharge of
its functions.
6.
To ensure that no individual Member may be involved
in reviewing a decision or policy which they have had direct
involvement with.
The
PPI Committee is not a decision-making body. The exercise of its
powers and functions are delegated by the Full Council to the
Committee in relation to development of policy as may be requested
by the Cabinet, and review of performance and improvement including
the Council’s statutory functions relating to
scrutiny.
