Background
We were asked to lead the consultation on future Grenfell support. We also coordinated the delivery of a new support programme with lawyers representing claimants in the civil claims process.
An External Scrutiny Team (EST) was appointed to provide independent oversight of the consultation. The EST also developed plans for ongoing monitoring and scrutiny of the new support. This was to give bereaved families, survivors and the local community confidence that the support would be designed fairly, managed properly and meet their needs.
Independent scrutiny function
As part of its work, the EST made recommendations for how the Grenfell support should be monitored and reviewed.
One recommendation was for the Council to appoint an independent scrutiny function to oversee the programme. You can find more information about how this role was developed.
We are now inviting expressions of interest from qualified organisations to deliver this independent scrutiny function (ISF) for the Grenfell Support Programme.
The ISF will make sure the programme is delivered in a transparent and effective way, and in the best interests of bereaved families, survivors and the local community.
To maintain independence and build trust, organisations based in Kensington and Chelsea, or teams that include people eligible for the support, cannot apply.
