Mandatory Training
The Monitoring Officer is responsible for determining which training is deemed mandatory. Set out below are the current mandatory training requirements:
The IG e-learning course is mandatory for anyone that processes personal data for the council. All Members must complete the training at the beginning of their term of office.
The course contains the following modules:
- Data protection law, definitions and principles
- Information security
- Freedom of Information Act
Please register or (login if already registered) and take the course
Additional training material and guidance about the information handling responsibilities of Members is published on C-First.

It is recognised that the Development Control Committee deals with very important and complex issues, and committee members taking those decisions need to have a good understanding of the legal and regulatory framework in which they operate.
All members of the Committee must therefore;
- Have undertaken mandatory training on the relevant law and procedures which relate to the committee’s work.
- Undertake further mandatory training on an ongoing basis whilst they continue to be members of the Committee.
Given the nature of the work of the Regulatory Committee, it is felt that the position of councillors and the council would be supported by mirroring the practice already in
place with the Development Control Committee, whereby there is a constitutional requirement for councillors sitting on the committee to have undertaken mandatory training.
All members of the Committee must:
1. Have undertaken mandatory training on the relevant law and procedures which relate to the Committee’s work.
2. Undertake further mandatory training on an ongoing basis whilst they continue to be members of the Committee.
