The Local Government Association (LGA) has
committed to reviewing the current model member code of conduct, as
recommended by the Committee on Standards in Public Life’s
report into Local Government Ethical Standards. The LGA has
undertaken a consultation with local authorities on a draft Model
Member Code of Conduct.
Arrangements have been made for Warwickshire County Council’s
Audit and Standards Committee to provide a consolidated response to
the consultation on behalf of the organisation. Members have also
been encouraged to respond individually. The consultation closes on
17 August 2020. The LGA’s conclusions will help to inform
Warwickshire County Council’s review of its Member Code of
Conduct.
