Standards Committee - Member Training
To receive any suggestions from members for areas to be included in the Standards Committee training taking place at the Council House on Thursday, 6th September 2007.
Minutes:
A draft programme for 'The Changing Role of the Standards Committee' training which would take place at the Council House on 6th September 2007 was circulated and minor amendments were made to the running order of this. It was felt that practical scenarios would be particularly useful with such training. Changes to the current arrangements for the 'first sieve' of complaints was to be covered at the training, which the Deputy Monitoring Officer advised would also likely be included on the agenda for the Committee's October meeting for further discussion.
It was also noted that a further 'Mock Council' training session would take place on 11th October 2007, which Mr. Cypher (the Parish Council Representative) expressed an interest in attending and which it was felt would be of use to the other new members of the Committee who had not attended the previous session of this.
RESOLVED:
(a) that the programme for 'The Changing Role of the Standards Committee' training session due to take place on 6th September 2007 be approved, subject to the minor amendments agreed to the running order of this; and
(b) that arrangements be sought for Mr. J. Cypher (Parish Council Representative) and any other members of the Standards Committee to attend the 'Mock Council' training session due to take place on 11th October 2007 should they so wish.
