Standards Indicators
Report: 8
Date: 29 March 2011
By: Chief Executive
Summary
The quarterly Standards Indicators for the periods July-September 2010 and October to December 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.
3. At the Committee meeting in September 2010, members asked officers review the indicators presented to the Committee. This report now only includes indicators specifically relating to members role and work. All other indicators will now be presented to the Corporate Governance Committee.
C. Other organisational and community implications
1. Equalities Impact
1.1 There are no issues related directly to the contents of this report. Some of the indicators may have equalities implications (for example disciplinary or whistle blowing cases); if the Standards Committee has concerns about these in the future it can refer the matter to the relevant committee for further exploration.
2. Met Forward
2.1 There are no direct Met Forward implications arising from this report.
3. Financial Implications
