Our Standards
In Haringey we are committed to delivering high standards of service provision that includes transparent and accessible governance. We are also committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct from our Councillors and Officers.
In this section you can find out about:
- Overview and Scrutiny - a series of pages that looks at the role of scrutiny in Haringey. This includes the work of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, which is responsible for the overall management of the scrutiny process at Haringey. The Overview and Scrutiny function acts as a check and a balance on the Council’s executive body (The Cabinet), and holds them to account for their decisions. Scrutiny Committees can call-in a decision that has been made by the Cabinet but not yet implemented. This enables them to consider whether the decision is appropriate. They may recommend that the Cabinet reconsiders the decision
- Ethical Governance - a page that outlines the standards of conduct that you should expect from our elected Members and officers. On this page you can also find out how to report a complaint about either a Councillor’s or officer’s conduct.
- Standards Committee - a page that outlines the work of this committee which seeks to implement, update and monitor the Code of Conduct for Members and determines any allegations that a member has failed to comply with the code.
