How does scrutiny work?

Scrutiny committee goes through a few steps to ensure not only the committee, but students, get a good report of what Officers have done so far in the term. Steps include:

Officers submit written reports to Scrutiny Committee who then reviews them and then comes up with questions based on it.
Officers then record their answer publicly so Scrutiny can understand the work further. Students can view these too and interact such as leaving comments.
Scrutiny Committee then gives each Officer a rating of either pass or fail based on their reports but also on each question they answered. An Officer will pass if the majority of the Scrutiny Committee vote to pass the Officer. Final reports can be found on this page each term so you can see how each Officer did!
