Integrity Code consultation

Minimum standard 6 requires that an organisation must provide information to its members and other people who have agreed to be bound by the Integrity Code to help them understand and implement the Integrity Code.

The purpose of this is to make sure that people know their rights under the Integrity Code, but also what is expected of them. This is important both in terms of fairness – people should know the rules by which they are held accountable – but also to prevent poor behaviour.

Organisations must advise their members and other relevant people:

• that the organisation is bound by the Integrity Code
• of the policies the organisation uses to implement the Integrity Code (eg, by publishing the policies on the organisation’s website)
• of their right to make a complaint or disclosure to the organisation and us.
