Community councils

The Community Council Model Scheme of Establishment and associated documents, first published in 2009, have been updated to ensure they were fit for purpose. This was a critical piece of work required to reflect the changes in legislation, national policy, and take into account developments in digital engagement and communications since 2009.

During 2022, a Short Life Working Group was established which included Scottish Government, the Improvement Service, COSLA, Community Council Liaison Officers and the Scottish Community Development Centre. The five documents being reviewed were:

model scheme of establishment
model constitution
standing orders
code of conduct
good practice guidance

See the Community Council model scheme 2023 documents for more information.
