respect of the training and development of elected members:
- That the establishment of a
regular programme of events be supported;

Modern Members Programme;

presented to the Committee on how the County Council could prepare and
implement personal development plans for its members;
- That agreement in principle
be given to members from the scrutiny arm being able to attend conferences
and training events which would help them carry out their role more
effectively and that the Chief Executive, in consultation with the
Chairman and Spokesmen, be authorised to agree proposals for managing this
process and also any training proposals on matters of probity which the
Standards Committee may wish to pursue.
- That there should be a
clear requirement upon members and officers attending seminars and courses
to prepare briefing papers summarising the details so that information
received is properly shared across the County Council.
