Standards and Code of Conduct

Councillors have standards! We have the Nolan Principles and now we have a new Code of Conduct recommended for adoption by the Local Government Association. The WorcsCALC training session on this subject explores the reason for the Code and the expectations upon councils and their members. The Principles of Public Life will be identified along with the statutory duties imposed by the Localism Act 2011. This training session also provides an appreciation of the rules that govern councillors' behaviour and outlines how to avoid accusations of wrongdoing.

Accessible to all councillors whether new or well-seasoned! With the introduction of the new national code, this is an opportunity to ensure proper practices are in place and to maintain your own and your council's standards.
