Committee details

The Standards Committee promotes and maintains high standards of conduct by councillors, co-opted members, and council officers.  The committee has a sub committee, which conducts hearings into allegations of breach of the code of conduct, following an investigation report referred by the Monitoring Officer.

Find out about the code of conduct that councillors have to follow, the role of the Monitoring Officer, and how to make a complaint about a councillor in our Councillor conduct section of the website.

Full details of the responsibilities of the Standards Committee are in the constitution.
