Standards Indicators

Report: 10
Date: 15 September 2010
By: Chief Executive

Summary

The quarterly Standards Indicators for the periods January-March 2010 and April-June 2010 are presented for the Committee’s information and comment.

A. Recommendation

That the Committee notes and comments on the Standards Indicators.

B. Supporting information

1. At each meeting the Standards Committee considers a set of indicators that give some measure of what can broadly be described as ethical/good practice standards in the MPA.

2. Some of these relate specifically to member conduct and others to the organisation as a whole. The information is presented on a quarterly basis. Particularly over time as trends can be established, the Committee will be able to identify any areas of concern and explore how these might be addressed. Some issues will be for the Standards Committee to take forward, others could be referred to the appropriate MPA committee. The indicators are attached as Appendix 1.

C. Other organisational and community implications
