CSPL · Local government ethical standards: report

R19-1

Accepted January 2019

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

The Local Government Association should create an updated model code of conduct, in consultation with representative bodies of councillors and officers of all tiers of local government.

Government response

The Local Government Association has worked with sector representative bodies to update its own suggested code of conduct, with the intention that this new suggested code could establish a consistent benchmark that local authorities can amend or add to as they see fit to reflect local circumstances and priorities.
