Advice Note for Councillors on Distinguishing between their Strategic Role and any Operational Work
2nd May 2018
The Standards Commission has produced an Advice Note for councillors which is aimed at helping elected members to distinguish between their strategic role and any operational work.
The Advice Note also suggests issues that councillors should consider in order for them to ensure they undertake their scrutiny role effectively, while still complying with the provisions regarding relationships with employees and decision-making in the Councillors’ Code of Conduct.
The Advice Note can be found here.
