NALC has opened an Assertion 10 ‘resource hub’, providing parish and town councils with a “comprehensive collection of tools, guidance and policies to help strengthen governance and compliance with the new Assertion 10 of the Annual Governance Statement.”
The hub features several newly-developed resources, including a refreshed IT Policy and a Data Protection Roadmap that offers step-by-step guidance to help councils understand their responsibilities, plan improvements, and meet data protection obligations. The soon-to-be-published Good Councillors Guide to Website Accessibility will also be added to the hub.
You can read more about the hub here, while it can be accessed by member councils here.
All of the resources are available to BATPC members councils as NALC members. Member login on the website is required to access these and other resources – anyone who has not yet registered on the site can find guidance on how to do so here. If you have any problems setting up your profile, please let me know.
