I would like information about your council’s carbon literacy training in relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This information may be held by the HR department or other departments that organise staff training.

In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following questions:

1. Have all senior management received carbon literacy training or equivalent since 1st January 2019? Please state the type of training.
