Councils are required by law to have their own Code of Conduct for Councillors and to set up Standards Committees to oversee this.  The function of the Standards Committee is to promote and maintain high standards of conduct by the Members of the Council.  An independent national body called the Standards Board for England has also been set up to oversee such matter.

The Council's Code of Conduct sets out the principles that Councillors are expected to follow and can be found in Part 5 of the Council's Constitution.  The address for the Standards Board is:

First Floor, 
Cottons Lane,
