"I work for a democratic organisation and I’m proud of that..."

This is an opportunity for Kirklees Council’s front line staff (not managers) to meet Cllr Cathy Scott, Cabinet Member and Democracy Commissioner, and our Chief Executive, Jacqui Gedman.

The hour long briefing will bring you up to date with the work and findings of the Kirklees Democracy Commission and give you the opportunity to better understand the importance of working in a democratic organisation.

The briefing will also help you understand the importance of working in a political environment. You'll learn how our officers (at all levels) and our elected members can work together collaboratively by developing mutual understanding and respect for each other’s roles.

This event is only open to Kirklees Council's staff. Please register using your kirklees.gov.uk email address.
