What is the Resident Scrutiny group?

The Resident Scrutiny Group reviews the services delivered by Abri.

They make sure we’re doing everything we should be. This includes monitoring our performance and decision-making process. They also use their findings to make recommendations for improvements and to provide support where it’s needed. The group follow the progress of changes and improvements through regular follow up reviews.

The Scrutiny Group is made up of Abri residents and is led by Andy Frost, who was appointed as Independent Chair of Scrutiny in October 2023.

There is a direct link between the Scrutiny Group and the Board

The work of the group is vital and to ensure this is recognised by the organisation, the Chair is a co-opted member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Customer Service and Performance Committee. This ensures there is a direct link between the Board and the Scrutiny Group which is further strengthened by twice yearly Co-Regulation events. This is when members of the Scrutiny Group are invited to meet with the Board and Executive Team and challenge them and hold them to account for the decisions made during that year.
