The Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour sets out the standards required of all civil servants in the discharge of their duties in relation to service delivery, probity and appropriate behaviour at work. In addition, certain designated officers in my Department are also covered by the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 and the Standards in Public Office Act 2001.
