| Short Description: | Taking part in constructive debate is an important part of the role of a local councillor. Debating is a core skill for effective community leadership and should be considered as part of comprehensive training or induction package for councillors. To help councils support their councillors to develop this core skill the LGA is commissioning a set of resources to help this training be delivered locally. We require a set of resources for use to facilitate training for councillors on strong debating skills. This will help to foster a positive culture of debating and discussion which will support councillors to use constructive challenge to deliver positive outcomes for residents.
