All councillors should behave with the utmost integrity and propriety. They agree to abide by a Code of Conduct which sets out how they should behave when acting in their capacity as Members of the Council.
The Code sets out the complaints process and how a complaint will be investigated and determined by the Monitoring Officer. They will acknowledge receipt of a complaint within 5 working days of receiving it and complete any preliminary enquiries within 28 days. If the matter requires a formal investigation and hearing or is referred to an external agency such as the police, it may take considerably longer to resolve.
If you feel you have a complaint about the conduct of a Slough Borough Councillor or a Parish Councillor, please read the Councillor complaint guidance.
A complaint must be about why you think a Councillor has not followed the Code. A breach of the Code may include:
- bullying
- disclosing confidential information
- disreputable conduct
- improper use of their position
- misuse of council facilities or resources
- accepting inappropriate gifts or hospitality.
If you wish to make a complaint, please complete the Councillor complaint form.
Email the Monitoring Officer on monitoringofficer@slough.gov.uk if you have any queries regarding the above information.
