CPD Framework for Elected Members in Scottish Local Government

Welcome to the CPD Framework for Elected Members in Scottish Local Government.

Developed by the IS in consultation with local government, the CPD Framework provides Elected Members with professional and personal development opportunities and generates comprehensive, constructive feedback on how they exercise a wide range of critically important political skills.

The CPD Framework is a structured platform for the development of skills and offers the unique option of a confidential, 360 degree feedback tool, which allows Elected Members to gain an understanding of how their behaviours are perceived by others.  The Framework also provides access to a range of development and learning materials, including online learning.

Further information on the CPD Framework is available by contacting:
