Our standards and commitment to you

Ethical governance arrangements are essential to our operation and reputation. A protocol has been developed as part of our integrated approach to ethical governance to ensure that external providers meet our requirements in relation to ethical standards.

The protocol forms part of our pre-tender evaluation procedure and compliance with the protocol is mandatory for all external providers. The protocol applies to the private and voluntary sector, including grant funded organisations.

Read The Ethical Governance Protocol (Word 35k) to find out how to comply.

The Ethical Governance Protocol makes reference to the Planning and Licensing Codes of Conduct, Part 5 Codes and Protocols, Section 5.2 and 5.3. (PDF, 259k).

Our Suppliers and Contractors Charter (pdf, 215kb) sets out what we expect from suppliers and in return what they can expect from us.
