null 8 simple research fundamentals

For the past 9 years I have been a scrutiny research officer. What that means in English is I set about researching subjects currently being looked at (investigated) by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. When I think about it, I have been a researcher since my early youth. My earliest memory is from when I was 7-8 years old and curious about all things Egypt, I went to the library and... Gweld mwy

null Social Network Formation and Impacts

Reading an article published on science daily about University of Pennsylvania research by Professor Damon Centrola, I was fascinated to learn so much on how characteristics contribute to the formation of social networks, whilst challenging existing theories from 1984. In 1984 Peter Blau and Joseph Schwartz argued that by eliminating all group affiliations, societies would enjoy greater... Gweld mwy

null What are the engagement options?

Using a case study approach to explain some lessons I have learnt about good engagement. The scenario is fictious but believable. A district council is consulting on a set of future development proposals. Exhibitions at parish council offices and village halls have been arranged, public events have been advertised in the local paper, libraries, council’s website and notification letters sent...

null Scrutiny Meeting Format proposals

Over the past year Broadland has experienced some subtle changes in our Councillor’s responsibilities.  We are used to having “double hatters” whereby a Councillor holds a district and a county seat, however since the County Council has become a Coalition, some of our District Councillors have stepped up to take on more cabinet based roles.   The impact of this has been a...

null Boosting the profile of Scrutiny

Scrutiny is not the most ‘sexy’ subject even in local Government; it comes with all types of stigmas and perceptions.  One of my appraisal targets is to boost the profile of our local Scrutiny Committee.  This has spawned a long action plan for me to work through that includes community engagement, youth engagement, and online engagement. I have now launched a few social media... Gweld mwy
