All authorities have a responsibility for their own standards of conduct. All except Parish/Town Councils are required to establish their own Standards Committee. In the case of Stocksbridge Town Council the Standards Committee of Sheffield City Council act on their behalf. The 3 Parish/Town Councils in the Sheffield area, namely, Stocksbridge, Ecclesfield and Bradfield, have a Parish/Town Councillor representative on this Committee.
All authorities were required to adopt a Members’ Code of Conduct, consistent with a model approved by Parliament.

All Members of Stocksbridge Town Council subscribe to this Code as adopted at the meeting held on 8th April 2021.
