Addressing Conflict between Employees and Members, including Code of Conduct Issues

Course Description

This course provides guidance for Councils to address complaints of bullying, harassment and intimidation by Employees within the current legal framework, includes:

  • The significance of the Localism Act 2011 and the Ledbury ruling.

  • ACAS Guidelines on resolving internal disputes.

  • Steps a “reasonable” Council should take to protect Employees.

  • Essential Policies and Procedures to protect staff and defeat the Council against Tribunal Claims.

  • Dealing with health problems caused by conflict.

We would recommend that as a minimum, a representative from the council as the employer attends (i.e. a councillor).

This is an interactive course  and offers the opportunity to network with Clerks and Councillors from Councils across Northamptonshire to share best practice and ideas.

Who Should Attend
The course is for both clerks and councillors.
