Tîm y Ddraig* presents - Councillor Induction, From A Clerk’s Perspective (Wales)
Calling all clerks – do your councillors struggle to understand their role and the breadth & depth of what you do to keep the council on track? Our training event will help you to inform your councillors about what they can do – and just as importantly what they cannot do!
What’s the best way to do this? Sign up to our online course and all will be revealed…
A good clerk will ensure that new councillors (and those requiring a refresh) are fully informed about their roles, their responsibilities and challenges that lie ahead.
Over two afternoons (31 July & 1 August) between 2pm and 4pm, our comprehensive course will ensure your clerk/councillor relationship gets off to the best start as you help your new councillors to settle in.
Topics covered include: Expectations of a Councillor’s Behaviour; Debate not Hate; Explaining Council Assets and Services, Local Government Structure and the Role of the Clerk and other Officers.
This course is suitable to new clerks and those of long standing and relevant to a council of any size.
This is a pilot training event, endorsed by One Voice Wales and the Society of Local Council Clerks.
Bookings must be made through the Eventbrite link below and there are only limited spaces available!
