Notable practice
This section of our website provides examples of activities undertaken by local authorities to help improve standards.
Part of our role is to support standards committees in promoting high standards, which in turn will enhance the reputation of local government. Standards for England seeks to develop the standards community's own capacity to support the regulated community. We know from experience that those involved in the standards community benefit from opportunities to share effective practice and learn from each other.
As well as providing the information in this section, we host an online Standards Forum for council officers and standards committee members. We also support an annual award at the LGC Awards, the Standards and Ethics award. The award recognises the achievements of authorities who consistently deliver principled local politics and strive to improve public trust in local democracy.
