8. Complying with the Code of Conduct
As a Councillor:
8.1
- I undertake Code of Conduct training provided by my local authority
8.2
- I cooperate with any Code of Conduct investigation and/or determination
8.3
- I do not intimidate or attempt to intimidate any person who is likely to be involved with the administration of any investigation or proceedings
8.4
- I comply with any sanction imposed on me following a finding that I have breached the Code of Conduct
It is extremely important for you as a councillor to demonstrate high standards, for you to have your actions open to scrutiny and for you not to undermine public trust in the local authority or its governance. If you do not understand or are concerned about the local authority’s processes in handling a complaint you should raise this with your Monitoring Officer.
