Conflict of Interest

Definitions of a conflict of interest can be found below. Please apply these to the list of schools.

As a rule of thumb if you have a personal contact number or email of an employee of this school, the Education Service would consider this a conflict of interest.

In the last 7 years you have:

  • Worked in the school
  • Previously worked as a colleague with an employee in the school
  • Conducted consultancy either paid or unpaid in the school
  • had a child or a close relative attend the school
  • Had a relative working at the school

At any time:

  • I have ever had a personal relationship/friendship with an employee of the school
  • I have been a governor at the school

These are not exhaustive and should you query if there is a conflict, it is better to err on the side of caution. If in doubt ask.
