The strictest practices of honesty and integrity should be observed, and conduct which could
suggest any departure from them must be avoided. This includes a duty to bring to notice
dishonesty, inefficiency, malpractice or suspected corrupt conduct on the part of another
person.
Confidentiality
Information belonging to the [Agency]/ [cluster] must not be released to any other party
without authorisation, and must only be used for the purpose for which it was provided.
Official information must not be used so as to violate any confidentiality or privilege, or to
gain improperly any kind of benefit or advantage personally or for any other person.
Other than when a member is authorised in the course of duty or called to give evidence in
court, matters relating to official business or government policies should not be commented
on or disclosed.
Confidentiality does not extend to information which is publicly available.
Confidentiality requirements survive termination of engagement.
