Decision:

THAT:

(a)         that the outline members’ induction programme at appendix 1 is approved.

 

 

Reasons for the decision:

A members’ induction programme will set out the arrangements which will be put in place for any new and/or returning members so that they are aware of the requirements following their election as a ward councillor.

The programme will also assist officers to put in place a detailed plan in order to deliver the programme.

No members’ induction programme is in place.   This is not recommended as returning and new members need details of what information will be available in the first few weeks following the Herefordshire Council elections or by elections.
