| Title of former civil service role | Deputy Director, Head of Carbon, Hydrogen & Industry Analysis, SCS PB1 |
| Date left / retired from the civil service | 31 July 2022 |

| Department’s decision on application (including details of any waiting period or other conditions or restrictions applied) | Vivienne does not draw on (disclose or use for the benefit of themself or the persons or organisations to which this advice refers) any privileged information available to them from their time in Crown service. For 6 months from Vivienne’s last day in Crown service, Vivienne should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK government on behalf of EY (including parent companies, subsidiaries, partners and clients); nor should Vivienne make use directly or indirectly, of contacts in the government and/or Crown service to influence policy, secure business/funding or otherwise unfairly advantage EY (including parent companies, subsidiaries, partners and clients). However, this does not preclude Vivienne from interacting with the UK Government, provided that it is related to the work of EY on matters aligned with government policy. In addition, this does not prohibit Vivienne from contacting the Department as part of building and maintaining any day-to-day relationships with government. For 3 months from Vivienne’s last day in Crown service, Vivienne should not consult on behalf of EY (including parent companies, subsidiaries, partners and clients) on parties engaging in cluster negotiations on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) or Hydrogen. Vivienne continues to review the Business Appointment Rules guidance before accepting any new appointment or employment for two years after leaving the Civil Service to ensure that there is no cause for justified public concern, criticism or misinterpretation. |
