Chief officers' register of interests

Our chief officers - those at executive director and head of service level - make up the senior management of the organisation and, as such, are responsible for the management of our services.

They are bound by a specific code of conduct and part of this requires these officers to maintain a register of interests. This register details any other renumeration they receive, property they may own, memberships of clubs and associations or any other financial interests, for example directorships or shareholdings, they may have.
