Standards Committee
Promoting high standards
Councils are required to establish Standards Committees, as part of a new ethical framework for public authorities established by the Government. The aim is to promote high standards of ethical conduct among elected councillors.
The role of this Committee is to advise Haringey Council on the adoption of a local Code of Conduct for Councillors, update and monitor the Code as necessary and to be responsible for implementing the Code and providing training for Members on ethical conduct.
The Committee also consider reports of the Monitoring Officer, on any matter referred to them by an Ethical Standards Officer of the Standards Board for England (see the external links section below), under the relevant sections of the Local Government Act 2000.

For more information or if you wish to make a complaint about a councillor see our Local code of conduct complaints process page.
Standards Committee Determination Hearings Panel
On 30 and 31 March 2011, the Standards Committee - Determination Hearing Panel found that Councillor Charles Adje had failed to comply with Paragraph 5 of the Council's Code of Conduct for Members by conducting himself in a manner which could reasonable be regarded as bringing his office or authority into disrepute.
The Notice of the Panel's Finding can be found in the attached files section.
On 14 January 2010 the Standards Committee considered a report on behalf of the Council's Monitoring Officer following an investigation into a complaint against Councillor Sheila Peacock. The report found that Councillor Peacock had not breached the Members' Code of Conduct. The Notice of Finding can be found in the attached files section.
