The Code of Conduct for the Public Sector
Kia ora, I’m Miriam.
When I first came across the Code, it felt like something you read during induction and move on from.
Now that I have been in the public sector for a while, I've seen lots of situations where my colleagues and I have relied on integrity, particularly political neutrality. It's tricky to work out what is okay for public servants and what we need to be careful of, especially around elections!
The Code isn’t just a set of rules. It’s what protects public trust and confidence in the work we do.
What if...Then... Card Activity
This card game gives you a variety of different scenario to think about in relation to integrity. You can choose how you want to play with the cards. It might be in pairs or small teams with your colleagues, or on your own, reflecting on what you would do.
Download and print the cards.
Ngā Pou | Principles Conversation Guides
This conversation guide is for people leaders in organisations. You can use it host a conversation with small groups or your team.
Your conversation will cover the principles, and how they apply to public servants. Prompt questions and suggested insights are included to help you host an engaging conversation. The powerpoint slide deck can also help you to run the informal conversation.
We will continue to add more learning resources throughout the year to help you keep integrity front of mind.
