Member Development Gateway
The Member Development Gateway is a one stop shop to support your development. Our aim is to put everything in one place to help you in your role as a Councillor. This enables us to fully support all Members across the North West.
The importance of developing Members has increasingly been recognised over the last six years. NWIN (now part of the North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership - NWIEP) and their partners, North West Employers and IDeA, share a commitment to improve the support to individual Members and authorities, and have invested significant funding to ensure that the North West continues to improve and demonstrates its commitment to excellence in the area of Member development.
The Gateway is able to offer:
- Advice on learning and development opportunities.
- Support in the development of in-house strategies and high quality provision.
- The opportunity to share learning and good practice.
Use the links on the left hand side of the page to move around the site. A good place to start is ‘What Every Councillor Needs to Know’. Here you’ll find links to lots of useful information.
A key element of the Gateway is the Gateway Adviser, Mike Wharton, who is the first point of contact for Elected Members or Officers responsible for Member development.
Mike is a Councillor himself and understands the challenges of being a Member.
You can contact him on 0161 214 7110, or click the link below to e-mail him.
