Agenda item

Director of Human Resources to be heard.

The Director of Human Resources gave an oral update to the Committee on Member/Officer protocol. A query had been raised at the July Court of Common Council on whether the Member/Officer protocol training that had been offered to all Members had also been offered to Officers.

The Director of Human Resources informed the Committee that Member/Officer protocol had not been part of the Employee Code of Conduct and would subsequently be added into it, relevant information would also feature in the Corporate Induction and online training would be provided. The Director of Human Resources added that briefings would be offered to staff who worked closely with Members. 

Members confirmed that this had been covered by the Standards Committee Chairman in the Annual Report to the Common Council.

RESOLVED – That the Committee note the oral update.
