County councillor complaints

Our county councillors all adhere to the Kent Code of Conduct for Members.

• process for handling Code of Conduct complaints (PDF, 296.7 KB)
• the Kent Code of Conduct for Members (PDF, 219.1 KB)
• our Member complaints privacy notice.

Complaints alleging that councillors have breached the code of conduct are reviewed by the Monitoring Officer in consultation with an Independent Person.  They decide if any action should be taken and if the matter should be referred to the Standards Committee.

They will not deal with complaints about things that are not covered by the Kent Code of Conduct for Members. Your complaint must state why you think the councillor has not followed the Kent Code of Conduct for Members.
