Every council’s constitution sets the framework for effective decision-making, good governance and democratic accountability. This session unpacks what the constitution contains, why it matters, and how it shapes day-to-day council business.
Suitable for councillors at any stage – whether new to the role or looking to refresh existing knowledge – the event covers how to use the constitution as a practical, working document rather than a shelf-bound rulebook.
Attendees will come away with a clearer understanding of how constitutions support sound decision-making, protect transparency and accountability, and help councils deliver better outcomes for residents.
