LOCAL CODE OF CONDUCT COMPLAINTS PROCESS
Changes to the complaints procedure
From 8 May 2008 the responsibility for considering complaints that local councillors may have breached the Code of Conduct is moving from the Standards Board for England to the Standards Committees of local authorities.
What this means to you
After 8 May 2008 if you want to complain about the conduct of a member of South Cambridgeshire District Council or a member of a parish council in South Cambridgeshire, you must submit your complaint to:
The Monitoring officer
South Cambridgeshire District Council
South Cambridgeshire Hall
Cambourne Business Park
Cambourne
Cambridge
CB23 6EA
The Assessment Panel can only deal with complaints about the behaviour of a member. It will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the Members' Code of Conduct, such as maladministration. If you make a complaint to the Assessment Panel it must be about why you think a member has not followed the Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct (This link will open in a new window) and versions of the complaint forms for printing or for emailing are available online or hard copies may be obtained from the Council's Monitoring Officer at the above address. Online submission of the Word version of the complaint form should be to monitoring.officer@scambs.gov.uk
Further guidance may also be obtained from the Standards Board's website at www.standardsboard.gov.uk (This link will open in a new window). The Standards Board have also produced a guide to Making a Complaint.
