Civility & Respect
Put it at the heart of your council
NALC launches a video highlighting how parish and town councils across England are benefiting from signing up to the Civility and Respect Pledge. It features real-life examples from councils that have committed to creating positive, professional and inclusive working environments for councillors, clerks, council staff and residents.
The Pledge was launched alongside county associations, One Voice Wales and the Society of Local Council Clerks, and encourages local councils to demonstrate their commitment to improving behaviour, strengthening relationships and fostering a culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

To help every parish and town council capitalise on this opportunity, as part of the campaign, a comprehensive recruitment toolkit has been tailored specifically for the sector. Link to the Toolkit (opens in a new tab)
