Officer Code of Conduct - Sponsorship - giving and receiving

14.1 If an organisation wants to sponsor a local government activity, whether by invitation, tender, negotiation or voluntarily, the basic rules about accepting gifts or hospitality apply. Particular care must be taken when dealing with contractors or potential contractors. 

14.2 If the council sponsors an event or service, you or anyone connected with you may not benefit from the sponsorship. Similarly, if the council gives financial support in the community, please ensure that impartial advice is given and that you have no conflict of interest.
