NCA cross-Council professional development event

In October we were proud to host a professional development session for Councillors from NCA member Councils, part of annual requirements under the Local Government Act 2020. 

​

Mayors, Councillors, CEOs and staff from six Councils came together to deepen their understanding of integrity and accountability in local government. The themes and conversations that emerged from the session were insightful and thought-provoking.

Their talks emphasised a shared commitment to strengthening public trust and upholding the highest standards of conduct. They noted that integrity is not just about compliance. It is about leadership, culture and the everyday decisions that build community confidence. 

​

We appreciate the time and thought the panel invested in preparing for our event and look forward to future opportunities for collaboration.
