Minutes:

The Head of Legal and Democratic Services gave a brief summary of the report. Members were also advised that the Council were looking to roll out the newly adopted Code of Conduct to its town and parish councils. This would simplify matters, particularly for Members who represented residents at multiple levels of local government.

 

The Chairman asked whether there was an opportunity for the equalities training Members had received to be rolled out to Town and Parish Councils.

 

The Head of Legal and Democratic Services said that Town and Parish Councils were responsible for their own training provision. The recent equalities training had been well-attended so it was not considered that any further training was needed currently, although this would be reviewed again in time.

 

RESOLVED – that the report be received and considered.
