Political Skills Framework: A councillor's toolkit
The latest version of the political skills toolkit helps councillors, and those working with them, to review and support individual development needs.
The toolkit contains:
- a revised, easy-to-access political skills framework (PSF) that takes account of the changes in councillors' roles since 2004, and incorporates recent thinking from the Local Government White Paper
- background information about the PSF and how councillors, and others supporting member development, can use it
- examples of how councils have used the PSF to create their own development processes to meet unique local needs
- personal learning reviews, based on each of the PSF skills sets, that councillors can use to identify areas of strength and areas for development
