This course is aimed at Committee Administrators, Democratic Support Officers and Lawyers involved in the decision-making process. The course will be of value to anyone who works with elected members.
In this seminar, Peter Keith-Lucas applies his wealth of practical knowledge to cover the very broad area of working with Councillors. So the session goes way beyond the Code of Conduct to deal with areas such as –
- The overall structure of local authorities and the separate roles of members and officers
- Supporting both the Executive and Scrutiny
- Rights of access to Information and duties of confidentiality
- Handling standards complaints
- Controlling member misconduct outside the Code
- Use and misuse of Council facilities
- Party political publicity
- Managerial members and bullying
- Re-building working relationships with members
