Minutes:
The Deputy Monitoring Officer presented a report on training materials produced by the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) for new and returning councillors to assist them in understanding the implications of the Code of Conduct. These were intended to be a generic Member training framework to be adapted locally by councils for their own use.
PhillipaEarlam indicated her interest in the forthcoming Member training sessions, as had Robert Dewey earlier in the meeting. It was agreed that the Committee Officer would circulate details of the sessions.
Councillor Arnold Woolley said that Member attendance at training sessions should be published online. Ken Molyneux felt it would be useful to display the general principles of Member conduct on a reference card.
RESOLVED:
That the content of the training materials for the purpose of providing training to new and returning county councillors, and town and community councillors, be approved.
