Councillor Development Framework
When you become a new Councillor it's not always clear what training you need to attend so we've brought together all the advice around training for Councillors and developed a framework of training.
Training Needs Analysis - Councillor
A training needs analysis (TNA) is a valuable process for parish councillors. Its primary purpose is to identify areas where councillors may need additional training or development to perform their roles effectively. By assessing current skills, knowledge, and competencies, a TNA helps to pinpoint specific training requirements. This ensures that councillors are well-equipped to meet the demands of their positions and contribute effectively to the council's goals and objectives.
Additionally, a TNA can help in ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and that councillors receive the training they need to address any gaps in their knowledge or skills. This ultimately leads to better decision-making, improved governance, and enhanced service delivery to the community.
