Throughout our sector, there are growing concerns about the impact bullying, harassment and intimidation is having on our councils, councillors and staff, and the resulting effectiveness of local councils. In response, the Civility and Respect Project has been founded by the Civility and Respect Working Group and is supported by representatives from across our sector including SLCC, National Association of Local Councils (NALC), County Associations, One Voice Wales (OVW) and councils.
The Civility and Respect Project work is now fully underway, directed by our project manager, Hazel Broatch and we are pleased to bring you the July 2023 update.
