Councillor’s Statement of Assurance
The Improvement and Development Board has introduced the Councillor’s Statement of Assurance. This initiative strengthens our commitment to creating positive, supportive and respectful parish and town council environments.
While parish and town councils can demonstrate their organisational commitment by signing the Civility and Respect Pledge, councillors themselves must also personally commit to upholding these values in their daily work and interactions.
Councillors who lead with civility and respect set the tone for their council and help ensure that council meetings and decision-making are effective, inclusive and fair.
The statement is not a legal document or contractual obligation. It is a public affirmation of personal values and conduct.
Together, the Councillor’s Statement of Assurance and the Civility and Respect Pledge give parish and town councils and councillors the tools to create a positive and professional culture.
Simply download the editable PDF form below, fill in your details and declaration, then save and return the completed statement to your parish or town council.
