Delivering Good Governance in Local Government: Framework and Guidance Notes

posted on 28 April 2016, updated on 28 April 2016

The new Delivering Good Governance in Local Government: Framework (CIPFA/Solace, 2016) defines the principles that should underpin the governance of each local government organisation. It provides a structure to help individual authorities with their approach to governance.

Delivering Good Governance in Local Government: Guidance Notes (CIPFA/Solace, 2016) assists authorities in interpreting the principles and terminology contained in the Framework in a way that is appropriate for their governance structures, taking account of the legislative and constitutional arrangements that underpin them.

The guidance notes are aimed at local government in England and will be particularly useful for officers. They are intended to help those supporting political and officer leadership with establishing robust governance, signposting component parts of the process and establishing a hierarchy of support.
