Training
All newly elected councillors take part in our new councillor induction programme.
Your induction will be facilitated by the team that provides administrative support to most meetings of the council. The Democratic Services and Scrutiny team support committees by convening meetings, writing the minutes and generally keeping the democratic system running. They are the council officers who you will probably see most and the team includes the council’s Member Development Officer who will provide you with ongoing guidance about the training and development opportunities available to you as a councillor.
