Charter for Elected Member Development
Driving continuous learning and improvement across every council
Strong local leadership grows from councils that invest in their people. The West Midlands Charter for Elected Member Development helps councils create the conditions where every councillor can succeed — confident, capable and connected to the communities they serve.
The Charter provides a clear framework for improvement and recognition. It supports councils to reflect on their strengths, build on good practice and demonstrate their commitment to effective, ethical leadership. It’s about shaping councils that lead well and deliver better outcomes for local people.
