Integrity Essentials

We’re developing learning to support all public servants understand Te Tauākī Whanonga mō te Rāngai Tūmatanui | Code of Conduct for the Public Sector (the Code) and He Ārahitanga Pōtitanga Whānui | General Election Guidance 2026 (Election Guidance).

Illustrated character Miriam. A woman with brown hair, glasses, wearing a yellow top and purple pants. The Commissioner wrote to public sector organisations when issuing the Code outlining implementation expectations. This included that all staff should complete the required learning on the Code and Election Guidance as soon as possible prior to the 2026 Election on 7 November 2026.

Learning resources, which will include the two required pieces of learning Navigating the Code and Getting Election Ready, will be published here by the end of March. This includes accessible versions.   

Mobile friendly versions of the required learning will also be available later.

Hosting our learning on your learning management system (LMS)

Once published, we are happy to share these learning resources with public sector organisations so they can host the published SCORM files on their own LMS. Note we do not provide the original source file so you cannot adapt or edit the modules.

We recommend each organisation nominates one key contact. Ideally someone in a human resource, organisational development, or learning and development role.

There are 2 ways nominated contacts can access the integrity learning resources to download:

  1. If you already have access to LDC’s Sharepoint site or any other Public Service Commission Sharepoint sites (such as the HR Hub) email corecapability@publicservice.govt.nz. We will then update the permissions on your login so you can access the folder that contains the learning resources.

  2. If the above doesn’t apply, you will need to complete the form below so we can set up multi-factor authentication access so you can download the learning resources. This process may take some time due to security requirements. We recommend you complete the form as soon as possible.
