GUIDELINES
As a general rule, all offers of gifts, benefits or bequests are to be declined and must be registered except for:
a) Tokens of appreciation (e.g. flowers, chocolates, small gift for speaking at an event, etc.)
b) Small items of Supplier promotional materials (e.g. pens, other paraphernalia with a logo, etc.)
c) Celebration gift/benefit from work colleagues (e.g. birthday, wedding, birth of a child etc.)
d) Common courtesy gift/benefit (e.g. working lunch, meals or refreshments at a conference/forum/seminar event)
If a) and b) above are more frequent and are not 'one-off' in nature and are from the same individual or organisation, then they must be registered and managed.
Offers of money in any form e.g. cash, gift card, voucher etc. must not be accepted (but must still be registered and managed).
Staff must not keep any gift, benefit or bequest without prior approval from a delegated officer.
A key consideration in deciding how to manage gifts, benefits and bequests is whether accepting this could be perceived by a reasonable, impartial observer as influencing or biasing a public official in the exercise of their official duties or functions.
Registering a gift, benefit or bequest shows integrity and transparency. Failure to register a gift, benefit or bequest may become a disciplinary matter.
