Our Organisation Supports The Seven Principles of Public Life ("The Nolan Principles")

​​

Selflessness

Members should act solely in terms of the public interest.

                                                                 

Integrity

Members must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.

 

Objectivity

Members must act and take decisions impartially, fairly, and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.

​

Accountability

Members are accountable for their decisions and actions and are prepared to explain these if necessary.

​

Openness

Members should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.

​

Honesty

Members should be truthful.

 

Leadership

should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour and treat others with respect. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs..
