New structures, alliances and commercial ways of operating are becoming the norm for many local authorities — and vital to these organisations is the relationship between elected members and appointed officers. This workshop will help you develop your working relationships with officers and consider how your council as a whole can move forward in innovative, connected ways.
Key outcomes
- Understand organisational structures and the roles of officers
- Learn what your expectations of officers should be and how to earn high levels of trust with them
- Integrate your new understanding with your organisation’s code of conduct
Who should attend

What others are saying about LGIU training
“It was helpful to hear anecdotes and ideas from members from other councils and the experiences of the trainer. The advice was practical and the examples helpful — it will definitely make me look at our code of conduct and constitution again!”
– Elaine, from Allerdale
