Standards for England - The 2010 Annual Assembly has been cancelled
The Standards for England 2010 Annual Assembly, ‘A place for Standards’, has now been cancelled.
This decision follows recent Government proposals to introduce provisions in the Decentralisation and Localism Bill to ‘abolish the Standards Board regime’.
The event was due to take place at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Birmingham, on October 18 and 19. However, given current uncertainty about any future local standards arrangements it did not feel appropriate to continue with the event.
Our priority now is to ensure that a full refund policy is in place for those who have booked places.
We are communicating with local authority monitoring officers to keep them up to date with the current situation.
For media enquiries, contact the press office on 0161 817 5400 or email press.enquiries@standardsforengland.gov.uk.
