Councillor Information

On this page you will find a range of important guidance relating to your roles and responsibilities as a councillor.

This includes:

• The Scheme of Governance at Aberdeenshire Council.
• A document which outlines these roles and responsibilities.
• The Councillors’ Code of Conduct.
• The Register of Members’ Interests

Also on this page we have included a Glossary of Terms by Service. These are the acronyms used most widely across the four services within Aberdeenshire Council. We commit to trying to limit their use and welcome challenge if their use is becoming confusing. However we hope this document will be a handy reference to get you started.

We have produced guidance for hybrid meetings and virtual committees, which will be useful for you as you move into the committee cycle.

If you have any further questions as they relate to these important documents, please use the contact details below.
