Training

The Scottish Local Authorities Remuneration Committee recommends that Councils should publish information on Councillor training.

Following the 2007 elections Clackmannanshire Councillors had the opportunity to attend a comprehensive induction programme. This was followed by training needs analysis to highlight the ongoing training requirements for each elected member. This information was used to develop a training programme to help Councillors keep pace with changes in legislation and to enable Elected Members to effectively carry out their duties.

The attendance at each session has varied according to individual members experience, skills and knowledge .

As at the end of October 2008 Councillor Balsillie has attended 17 training/information sessions.

Details of the individual sessions can be obtained from records maintained in Members' Services. Email address chiefexecutiveservices@clacks.gov.uk or telephone number 452011
