All Public Servants, across the UK, are expected to follow the Nolan Principles. The Seven Principles of Public Life outline the ethical standards those working in the public sector are expected to adhere to.
The Principles apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder. This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non-departmental public bodies, and in the health, education, social and care services. All public office-holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services.
The Principles were set out by Lord Nolan in 1995 in the first report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life and they are included in a range of Codes of Conduct across public life.
The Seven Principles are: Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty and Leadership.
