Member Pledge
Tower Hamlets Council is enhancing councillor induction and training, aligning with the Member Pledge for improved governance.
Tower Hamlets Council is implementing an enhanced induction and training programme for councillors, detailed in a report considered by the Standards Advisory Committee in March 2026. This programme, developed with Local Government Association input, aims to prepare councillors for their roles and familiarise them with council operations and priorities.
The programme, which has a dedicated annual budget of £60,000, supports the Member Pledge, a commitment designed to foster better behaviours and relationships within the council. The pledge was set to launch in Q1 2026. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
