Civility and Respect Pledge

Throughout the public sector, there are growing concerns about the impact bullying, harassment, and intimidation are having on local (parish and town) councils, councillors, clerks and council staff and the resulting effectiveness of local councils. The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), One Voice Wales, the Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC) and county associations have responded to this by setting up a Civility and Respect Working Group to oversee the Civility and Respect Project.

At the Shipley Parish Council meeting held on 18th March 2024, the Members agreed to sign up to the Civility and Respect Pledge. The Civility and Respect Pledge is being introduced because there is no place for bullying, harassment and intimidation within our sector. The signed Pledge can be found HERE
