Think Councillor

“Think Councillor” is an initiative led by the council’s management team to encourage and support staff to consider the position and role of councillors at all times. This includes running training sessions and providing internet resources which aim to help staff develop positive working relationships with councillors, making sure that what councillors need and expect is central to what we do.  This includes making sure councillors are kept informed, especially about what’s happening in their division and that officers provide the right level of support to councillors to carry out their role. Executive Directors are responsible for ensuring that the principles of “Think Councillor” are embedded within a service area.
