Report of the Task and Finish Group on Training Needs Analysis
A verbal update on progress made by the Task and Finish Group.
Minutes:
Mr Gerry Robson, OBE updated the committee on the first meeting of the Task and Finish Group on Training Needs Analysis.
He explained that at the last meeting of the Training sub-committee concerns had been raised that some Town and Parish Council Chairmen were unfamiliar with some aspects of the Code of Conduct and of chairing a meeting.
The Task and Finish Group had particularly looked at the possibility of training in chairing skills for Town and Parish Chairmen with a view to reducing the numbers of complaints received. The Group had asked the Governance team and Human Resources to see if there was evidence of any training needs from Town and Parishes and what measures could be taken to address them.
The Group would meet again in April and report back to the Standards Committee in May.
