Published 29 September 2022

1. Pro forma for transparency information about outside appointments or employment taken up by former members of the department at SCS1 and SCS2 level and equivalents including special advisers of equivalent standing

• Transparency about the advice given on individual applications under the Business Appointment Rules helps to ensure the maintenance of a high level of compliance.

• The Rules require departments to publish on their websites summary information about the advice they give to applicants at SCS2 and SCS1 level and equivalents, including special advisers of equivalent standing.

• This follows the approach adopted by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments which publishes information on the advice it gives on applications from SCS3 level and above and equivalents, including special advisers of equivalent standing – see http://acoba.independent.gov.uk/

1.1 Published information should include the following details:

• Full name of the applicant, and title of their former Civil Service role;

• Date applicant left/retired from the Civil Service;

• The applicant’s new employment or appointment, including when taken up;

• Summary of the department’s decision on the applicant’s application, including details of any waiting period or other conditions or restrictions applied.

• Departments may wish to use the pro forma overleaf for this purpose.

• It is important that departments do not publish any information until the applicant has taken up the appointment or employment, or it has been publicly announced.

• No information should be published where the applicant does not take up a proposed appointment or employment.

• Applicants should be informed about publication and be given the opportunity to check the text before it goes live on the website.

Kripali must not draw on any privileged information which was available to her as a Crown Servant, nor use contacts gained during her time as a civil servant, to further her private interest or the interests of others. Kripali must inform the Permanent Secretary’s office if she wishes to undertake any new appointments (whether paid or unpaid) during the period of her secondment, and we will advise her on whether a further BARs is required.
