To note the information.

A report was presented by the Monitoring Officer providing information on training councillors on issues relating to the code of conduct which forms part of the statutory function of the Standards Committee. It was noted that the Committee had identified the need to undertake such training but accepted that delivering this had proved challenging recently due to a lack of resources.

It was noted that sessions had been prepared and piloted for community councils with the intention of enabling members and clerks to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the Code of Conduct, equip members to operate within the framework and highlight where to access further guidance and information.
