Minutes:

The Committee members discussed their training needs. 

 

NOTED

 

1.               The majority group substitute members could be the deputy whips but this would need to be a membership change which would need to be agreed at a full council meeting. 

2.               The Monitoring Officer was happy to brief any members on the processes, if requested. 

3.               The training session would be added to the workprogramme.

 

AGREED that a training session would be organised as part of the next meeting of the committee on 4 October 2018.  The training would include the complaints process, the role of the monitoring officer and the committee, the code of conduct and what constitutes a breach of the code, the sanctions available and the role of the independent persons.  Substitute members would also be invited.
