The Berkshire County Training CIC has just announced three dates for New Councillor Training. This will obviously be of particular interest to those new faces standing for election on the 7th May.
Who should come?
This training is designed for newly elected councillors; it will be of help to new or inexperienced clerks too. More experienced councillors may find it useful as a refresher and reminder of roles and responsibilities.
The evening will be run by Kim Bedford a very experienced and recently retired County Officer of Gloucestershire Association or Local Councils.
What does it cover?
- The role and responsibilities of a Councillor.
- Examining how the four key components fit together - Councillor, (Code of Conduct) Council, Chairman and Clerk.
- How a council works; the law, procedures, meetings and a place for committees.
- How to fulfil compliance, accountability and transparency requirements as a statutory body.
- Forward thinking - discussing possible future changes.
- How to work with and engage with the community to ensure that you work with and for them.
There will be time for questions and networking.
