Government response (the government's words)
The Standards Board has actively sought secondments and permanent recruitment from the local government world. The Board’s investigators have between them over 200 years of local government experience. Case managers in the Board’s Referral Unit have a combined total of over 40 years of employment in local authorities. The Board will continue to ensure that its management policies put an appropriate emphasis on the recruitment and retention of staff with local government experience.
