Publication Of Revised Handbook For Members - Management Services Division Press Release 23 August 2011

Mr Graham Cregeen, Member of the Department of Infrastructure with responsibility for Local Authorities, is pleased to announce the completion of an updated general handbook for Members and Officers of Local Authorities, which has today been published on the Department’s website.

Mr Cregeen commented that:-

“The handbook produced by the Local Government Unit provides details on the functions and powers of Local Authorities, in addition to providing an outline of the legislation in place governing Local Authorities and the impact this has on their duties in terms of their legal obligations and requirements. Guidance is also provided on the employment of staff, confidentiality and data protection, as well as whistle-blowing and declarations of interest. This new and improved version of the handbook covers a comprehensive range of areas, which will no doubt prove useful to Local Authorities when carrying out their day-to-day duties.”

A copy of the handbook can be viewed at: http://www.gov.im/lib/docs/transport/msd/localauthoritieshandbookrevised1.pdf
