Civility and Respect Pledge

Now is the time to prioritise civility and respect and start a culture change in the parish and town council sector. We are introducing the Civility and Respect Pledge because there is no place for bullying, harassment and intimidation within our sector. The pledge is easy for councils to sign up for, enabling them to demonstrate their commitment to addressing poor behaviour across and fostering positive changes that support civil and respectful conduct.

You can see how parish and town councils have signed up for the pledge using our tracker and where those councils are located using our mapper.

Civility and Respect Pledge

We asked sector-leading representatives to explain what the Civility and Respect Pledge is and why it's important for parish and town councils to sign up to help tackle poor behaviour and join the culture change.
