Issue - meetings

To provide feedback from the Ethical Liaison Meeting.

That the Committee welcomes the outcomes of the ethical liaison meeting and agrees to hold a third meeting in the new calendar year.

The Monitoring Officer presented a report giving feedback from the second ethical liaison meeting held in August.

The meeting had been well received and a range of actions had been agreed to support the forthcoming duty on Group Leaders to help promote good conduct by elected Members.  Group Leaders had agreed to further meetings and would be asked to endorse a draft syllabus of actions to be introduced for the Member induction process following the elections in May 2022.

The Chair, Vice-Chair (Mark Morgan) and Councillor Patrick Heesom - who had all been in attendance - spoke in support of the value of ethical liaison meetings.

The recommendation was moved by Mark Morgan and seconded by Councillor Gladys Healey.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee welcomes the outcomes of the ethical liaison meeting and agrees to hold a third meeting in the new calendar year.
