Introduction of Kate Josephs, Chief Executive

Minutes:

7.1

The Chair welcomed Kate Josephs, the new Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, to the meeting.

 

7.2

Kate Josephs welcomed the opportunity to speak to the Committee and the work done so far on the Members Code of Conduct and the willingness of Members to reflect on the new Model Code published by the LGA.

 

7.3

At the heart of the model code was a connection to the Nolan Principles which rang true at Sheffield City Council.

 

7.4

It was important that the Code continuously reminded Members  of the adherance to the principles and would enable Members to call out with kindness where those principles were not being upheld.

 

7.5

Kate also welcomed a commitment to training from Members which would also help to build relationships.
