1. Your most recent published or otherwise councillor training or induction programme or schedule including seminars, workshops eLearning etc
Please see attached, this is the Councillor Induction programme for May to June 2024. We are in the process of developing a longer term programme which will span across the next two years.

2. Your councillor training, development strategy or plan or policy
We do not currently have a Member Development Strategy in place, but this is a priority and will be developed in the coming months. We will be placing a particular focus on online sessions and training and utilising as many cost-neutral options as far as possible to keep costs minimal. This will include in-house delivered training as well as our developed offer of on-line training modules ‘MyLearning’.

Across the last two years we have requested feedback from councillors on the development sessions that have been delivered and on the induction programme. Prior to that I am not aware of any other analysis.

All of our induction material is on a Councillor SharePoint site, rather than a pack as such.

We will be developing this.

9. The most recent quality assurance or feedback report of the quality of the programmes being develop or delivered i.e. what do councillors think of the quality and relevance of the training provided. Where there is none in the last five years, (April 2019 to April 2024) please state this
We do not hold a formal record of this, but we have invited feedback in an informal way which we have then used to inform future planning of sessions.
