Group constitution

Political impartiality

All local action groups are required to follow the political impartiality guidance to ensure they are as effective as possible in tackling the climate and ecological emergency.

This guide is to help groups to understand what safeguarding means and ensure that they take the necessary steps to keep everyone safe and meet any legal safeguarding requirements.
