Purpose of committee

The Standards Advisory Committee replaces the previous Standards Committee (decommissioned 01/07/2012). Agendas, minutes and further information on that committee are available here or through the Meetings link on the left of the page.

 

The Standards AdvisoryCommittee performs a number of functions to maintain high standards of conduct in public life. These include:

  • Promoting and maintaining the Members Code of Conduct and other local protocols.
  • Assisting in training and offering advice on matters relating to the codes.
  • Advising the Council on the adoption and revision of the Code of Conduct and the various Protocols included in the Constitution.
  • Considering any potential breaches of the Members Code of Conduct.

 

Meetings are open to the public to attend. However, the Committee or any of its Sub-Committees may meet in private, in accordance with the relevant legislation, to consider business.

 

The Standards Advisory Committee is made up of Councillors, Independent Persons (as defined in the Localism Act 2011) and Co-opted Members.
