RESOLVED: That Council approved and adopted the
updated guidance for Councillors.
 

REASONS FOR DECISION:

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