Officer Code of Conduct - Political neutrality
4.1 Officers serve the council as a whole, and must serve all Councillors equally and ensure that the individual rights of Councillors are respected. Officers must not allow their personal or political opinions to interfere with their work or their behaviour at work.
4.2 Where an employee is requested to advise a full meeting of a political group or its executive, the Chief Executive must be informed by the employee in advance of the meeting. In providing the advice, political neutrality must be maintained. In addition, any advice given should be made available to all political groups, if requested.
4.3 Certain officers hold politically restricted posts. If your job is politically restricted, you will be notified, and you will be prevented from taking up certain roles, for example becoming a member of a local authority (other than parish councils); becoming an MP or MEP; holding office in a political party, and canvassing, speaking in public or writing on party political matters.
