The supporting councillors framework: a best practice guide for councils This framework has been developed to help councillors and councils review their support arrangements. The framework aims to help councillors, individually and collectively, to consider their support needs in the context of their roles within their own local authority and how best the authority can provide a range of support for their various roles and personal circumstances. It also aims to enable officers to evaluate the support they provide to their elected members against what may be considered good practice. Please note that this framework has been produced by the Improvement and Development Agency. As such, it's focus is on English councils and councillors.
