Good practice in local councils is something that the Wiltshire Association of Local Councils continuously promotes.
Member councils can contact the WALC office for advice on procedural issues and suggestions of good practice surrounding particular council functions.
As local councils continue to become more and more firmly planted on the Government agenda, there are many tools available to aid councils in becoming more transparent, open, well governed corporate bodies.
Whether or not your council wishes to become a Quality Council, the principles of the scheme, which cover such themes as procedures and communication, are highly important themes to consider when considering good practice.
You can visit the NALC website at http://www.nalc.gov.uk for information on creating a council, creating a youth council or becoming a councillor.
In addition you can order the publications, Pointers to Good Practice, the Good Councillor’s Guide and A Guide to Quality Status from the WALC office.
