The Slowness of the Standards Process

The Judge in the Bertha Joseph case said it was "extraordinary" that Brent Council had taken so long to come to a decision over the accusations against her. In fact it was almost two years from the initial accusation to the Brent Standards Committee making its judgement, and more than that for the First Tier Tribunal's judgement. Partly, this can be attributed to the complexity of the accusations, but it really should have been done quicker. Perhaps Councils need to band together to provide investigators in a reciprocal arrangement?
