The Taituarā Democracy and Participation Reference Group has developed some guidance to help governance and democracy services professionals and elected members get to grips with Standing Orders. 

The short guide is full of information and resources, including where to seek advice and training. This guidance is useful for those new to local government and Standing Orders, and those who have been in the sector for a while. The guidance can be accessed here via PDF or via our LGSectorGoodToolkit.
