Our Work

I'm interested to learn about:

Ethics and Conduct

Ethics and Conduct for Monitoring Officers
We understand the challenges of being a local government monitoring officer from personal experience. We can offer definitive guidance and support on conduct issues, either directly to the monitoring officer or, with their support, directly to members and other officers.

Examples of our work are:

  • Investigations for the local determination of a complaint of a breach of a member code of conduct
  • Investigations for staff disciplinary reasons
  • Investigations of grievance or whistleblowing complaints
  • Training standards committees on powers, duties and roles
  • Training members and officers on codes of conduct
  • Training on how to investigate
  • Mediation of potential conduct complaints
  • Local investigation and complaint handling procedures
