Guiding principles

The guiding principles to be followed at all times by employees must be:

their conduct should not create suspicion of any conflict between their official duty and their private interest;
their actions must not be influenced by a benefit (eg a gift or hospitality) offered or received to show favour or disfavour to any person or organisation, and nor should they give the impression (to any member of the public, or to any organisation with whom they deal, or to their colleagues) that they have been (or may have been) influenced by a benefit offered or received to show favour or disfavour to any person or organisation;
their actions must not induce or reward someone to perform a role or function improperly.
