Standards Board Information and Guidance

The Standards Board for England has produced a range of Code of Conduct factsheets on the most frequent topics of telephone enquiries to our Policy and Guidance advisers. The factsheets, which can be downloaded below, offer clear explanations about complicated parts of the revised Code and are a useful addition to our existing guidance.

The topics are:

  • Bullying
  • Disclosing confidential information
  • Gifts and hospitality  
  • Lobby groups and declarations of interest
  • Personal and prejudicial interests
  • The ethical framework for local government

Each section is available as a pdf document and can be downloaded by clicking here.
