Leicestershire

As an Authority it is in our interest to promote and support the role of elected member - as a result we have a highly motivated political team, better decisions making, and better understanding between councillors and officers.

John Sinnott, Council Chief Executive

A First Class Induction for Leicestershire's new 21st Century Councillors

"It is all about community leadership" - Politics, People, Places, Partnerships and Performance
Leicestershire's aim is to take a radical look at councillor development and offer things that really matter to councillors (rather than tick boxes for officers!)
- Division visits for councillors and officers
- Mentoring and personal development from day one
- Comprehensive ongoing support with political awareness building
- Induction and development opportunities that continue throughout the year
