General principles of councillor conduct
Everyone in public office at all levels; all who serve the public or deliver public services, including
ministers, civil servants, councillors and local authority officers; should uphold the Seven Principles of
Public Life, also known as the Nolan Principles.
Building on these principles, the following general principles have been developed specifically for the
role of councillor.
In accordance with the public trust placed in me, on all occasions:
- I act with integrity and honesty
- I act lawfully
- I treat all persons fairly and with respect; and
- I lead by example and act in a way that secures public confidence in the role of councillor.
In undertaking my role:
- I impartially exercise my responsibilities in the interests of the local community
- I do not improperly seek to confer an advantage, or disadvantage, on any person
- I avoid conflicts of interest
- I exercise reasonable care and diligence; and
- I ensure that public resources are used prudently in accordance with my local authority’s requirements and in the public interest.
