RECOMMENDED
TO FULL COUNCIL: That Full Council approve and adopt the
updated guidance for Councillors.  

 

REASONS FOR REFERRAL:

 

(1) 
The Council’s current guidance to Councillors on Outside
Bodies was last updated in 2016.

 

(2) 
A full review of the guidance to Councillors on outside bodies has
been necessary to ensure:
 

a.   
Councillors are aware of their liabilities based on the type of
organisation which they are appointed to and the risks associated
with these appointments both to the Councillor and the Council.
 

b.   
That the guidance available to Councillors aligns with the updated
statutory position and also best practice.
