The report of the Service Manager – Corporate Services is attached.

The Service Manager – Corporate Services reminded the Group that at its meeting in February 2022, the Group were asked to consider the ‘Be a Councillor Guide’ and had made a number of suggestions in respect of the 2022 Guide. They also considered the supporting events and media campaign that runs alongside the publication of the ‘Be a Councillor Guide’.

The Service Manager – Corporate Services provided the Group with a draft version of the ‘Become a Councillor Guide’ information pack for 2022 to take away to consider and provide comment within the week enabling the document to be published in early June.

The Group were informed of a Become a Councillor event for potential new Councillors, which is expected to be delivered on 14 July 2022. The event is expected to bring the ‘Be a Councillor Guide’ document alive with a Q & A session, short videos and a social media campaign.

The Group requested the document be sent electronically and did not provide any comments at the meeting.

It was RESOLVED that the Member Development Group endorse the campaign and Become a Councillor Guide for 2022.
