We're committed to making sure good governance practices are part of everything we do.
We've put together a guide, Local Code of Corporate Governance, to set out the standards that we'll meet to make sure we're doing the right things in the right ways for the right people. The guide sets out a number of commitments that we promise to follow. These make sure we're inclusive, that we're open and honest, and that we're accountable for what we do.
Our commitments
We commit to:
- Work with integrity, showing strong commitment to ethical values and follow the rules of the law.
- Make sure we're open about what we are doing and why. We'll speak to our customers about our plans to make sure they meet your needs.
- Clearly set out our objectives and show what we're trying to achieve to create a good economic, social and environmental Barnsley for all of its residents.
- Put plans in place to achieve the objectives we have set to make Barnsley a better place to live, work and visit.
- Look at our staff and make sure they have the leadership and skills needed to meet the objectives we have set.
- Follow our set standards to make sure we make good financial decisions and ensure we make the best use of taxpayers' money.
- Show our good practice by providing reports on the decisions we take and the reasons for them.
