Amazed at year-end at how easy it was, I had to do very little as Finance Officer- my job was essentially redundant!

What is the Model Code of Conduct?

by 
Emma Goldring
· Updated

Exclusive Download: Model Code of Conduct for Councillors - A simple guide & checklist for councillors to understand their obligations and how they should act in their role

‍

Every town or parish council may have different policies, procedures, bylaws, and regulations to follow but there are some overarching principles every fair-minded council should adhere to when operating in their community. 

The purpose of the Model Code of Conduct is to create and maintain public confidence in the role of member and local government, and to encourage good conduct between councillors. 

Fiona Anthony, a solicitor from nplaw, took part in our Scribefest 2020 series to explain all you need to know about the Model Code of Conduct and her views on it. 

Learn about your obligations and minimum standards of conduct required of you.
