Decision:
That the report on phase 2 of the Member induction programme and the Member Development Programme 2012/13 be noted.
Minutes:
The Democracy and Governance Manager introduced a report to inform the Committee of planned future Member training in 2012/13. He advised that an initial Member development programme for 2012/13 had been previously agreed by the Member Development Working Group and was attached to his report. Phase 2 of the Member induction programme would run from September to end of December and the topics identified for inclusion were attached to the report.
The Democracy and Governance Manager reported that feedback from Member development events indicated there had been comparatively poor attendance at the Phase 1 Member induction events. This was raised with political Group Leaders and it was proposed that for Phase 2 the individual details for each topic would be provided explaining what would be covered and why Members should attend, together with a booking form.
RESOLVED:
That the report on phase 2 of the Member induction programme and the Member Development Programme 2012/13 be noted.
