Ethical Governance
Q What is
Ethical Governance?
A
Ethical Governance is the way in which we ensure our ethical
standards are
applied.
It includes amongst other things
- Personal standards of people standing to be Councillors.
- Democratic selection of suitable Councillors.
- Peer group example and approval or condemnation.
- Training
- The Code of Conduct.
- The regulations which allow for allegation, investigating,
hearing and sanction against anyone breaking the Code of
Conduct.
- Democratic de-selection.
Ethics means those standards of [in this case professional]
behaviour which are largely unwritten but by which we recognise
good or bad in ourselves and in other people.
