About the Scrutiny Panel
The Scrutiny Panel is a group of Stonewater customers who volunteer their time to take a closer look at how our services are working. They partner with Stonewater to make sure we’re focusing on what really matters to you and your community.
Panel members review each service area to understand what’s working well and where things could be better. They do this by:
- Meeting online with colleagues to understand how the service operates
- Exploring performance data, policies, customer feedback and processes to build a full picture
- Creating clear, evidence-based recommendations that Stonewater commits to responding to and acting on.
By joining the Panel, you'll:
- Get access to training
- Connect with customers, colleagues, senior leaders and our Board
- Develop your skills including teamwork, research and communication
All completed Scrutiny reviews are published below, so you can explore the topics the Panel has focused on and the changes their work has helped drive.
