8. Update on Member Development and the SW Charter

There has been an excellent response for the recent one to one programme which has been helping to identify personal development needs. On behalf of the Member Development Steering Group, we would like to thank everyone who has spared the time to talk to the team. By the end of June most elected Members will have undertaken one of these interviews.

This information has been collated into a learning and development plan and work is underway to start to address these needs. Individuals are being contacted to inform them as their needs are being met. In addition to development needs, Councillors also identified other barriers which prevented them from achieving their best in some aspects of their role. These issues are being directed to relevant senior officers.

The next step will be to deliver the activities and to measure their success in meeting the original objectives. This feedback will be used to make future improvements.

Lastly, the Member Learning and Development webpage s are now available (accessed through the Members Web), which contain a range of information about learning and development opportunities, policies and links to useful websites.

The next meeting of the Member Development Steering Group is Monday 16th June.
