Report of the Standards Committee.

The Committee considered a report of the Standards Committee to advise the Council Business Committee of its recommendations to append the definition and examples of bullying and harassment, as set out in paragraph 3.0 of the report, to the Council’s Code of Conduct for Members.

The Democratic Services Manager presented the report and explained that, following the Standards Committee meeting on 18 September 2017, the Monitoring Officer had been asked to amend the Members’ Code of Conduct accordingly.
