Positive Conduct equals Positive Democracy
We are supporting local councillors and clerks to help Wiltshire be the leading county on promoting positive conduct and democracy.
We have launched our Positive Conduct equals Positive Democracy campaign for local councillors and clerks. The campaign builds on the good work already happening in the county and looks to support the sharing of good practice, facilitating honest conversations and looking to collectively find solutions to any issues or barriers that might be preventing positive local democracy from taking place.
We have produced a toolkit full of hints, tips and useful links to help support the smooth running of local council meetings and good practice for dealing with challenging local issues in order to achieve positive and productive outcomes for local communities.
We have also created a Positive Conduct equals Positive Democracy Charter, and we encourage local councillors and clerks to sign up to it, in order to show their support and commitment to be a positive conduct ambassador in their role and embody and promote high standards in public life.
