For you to serve all elected members equally, it is essential that the Senedd and the public have confidence that your personal views do not affect the discharge of your official duties.
The aims of the rules are to allow you the greatest possible freedom to participate in public affairs without infringing this fundamental principle.
General rules applicable to political activity:
- you cannot take part in any political activity whilst on duty or in uniform or on Commission premises;
- you must not attend outside conferences or functions convened by or under the auspices of a party political organisation in your official capacity;
- care must be taken to avoid any embarrassment to the Senedd by you bringing yourself prominently to public notice in party political controversy as an employee of the Senedd;
- you must ensure that your personal political views are expressed with moderation so as not to inhibit or appear to inhibit loyal and effective service to members of another party.
If you have any specific questions, or would like to receive a full copy of the Code of Conduct please contact the recruitment team jobs@senedd.wales
