Minutes:
Cabinet considered the Member Development Programme which included suggestions from the LGA Peer Review. It was anticipated that a Member group would be able to consider topics such as increasing Member engagement, methods of communication to increase attendance and buddying schemes for Members.
RESOLVED that:
1. The Member Development Programme 2024/25 be approved.
2. A cross-party Member group be formed to consider items including Member Development and Member Safety.
Reason
The provision of a comprehensive Member Development Programme is a fundamental element of good governance. It ensures that Members are properly equipped to undertake their duties as Councillors and provides safeguards toward the integrity of Council decision making.
