Oxfordshire County Council committees

Each committee consists of a group of councillors (sometimes with independent 'co-opted' members) who are appointed in line with the wishes of the council's political groups.

Scrutiny committees

Other committees of the council

Committees cover specific functions not dealt with by the cabinet (such as audit, organisational matters, planning, pension fund arrangements and standards). They make decisions delegated to them by the council. Committees are made up of councillors (including cabinet members).

Committees meet with varying regularity and are generally open to the public. The exception to this is when meetings are held in private to deal with matters exempt from the usual access to information requirements.

There are also a number of joint committees, strategic partnerships and external committees.
