Writing a Report for a Policy Overview and Scrutiny Committee:
1. Officers writing a report for a POSC meeting should answer the key questions set out in the Members' Report Request Template (further information below). This template will be made available to officers once an agenda item has been agreed, and should be discussed with your Director as soon as possible to agree the content for your report.
2. Officers should write their report in the POSC Report Template below, which offers further guidance on content, format and length. This template includes a cover sheet, which officers should ensure their Director completes before submitting a paper to the CFE Policy Team.
3. Deadlines for submitting papers for each POSC meeting are set out in the Meeting Schedule above.
