Corporate Governance Framework
Our corporate governance framework sets out the necessary responsibilities and procedures that guarantee we operate properly.
Conflicts of interest
73. We recognise that you will have a range of interests outside the Commission. However, you should be aware that how you conduct these interests may give rise to actual or perceived conflicts with your role as a Commissioner.
74. You should ensure that any potential or perceived conflicts of interest are identified at an early stage and appropriate action taken to resolve them. If need be, you should discuss the position with the Chair as soon as possible.
75. The potential or perceived conflicts of interest include those of close family members and persons living in the same households as close family members.
76. You must declare to the Chair existing or new interests and these must be included in a register of interests maintained by the Gambling Commission. You must ensure that your entries are kept up to date. Should a particular matter give rise to a conflict of interest, you must withdraw from discussions or consideration of the matter. Your appointment as a Commissioner of the Gambling Commission may be terminated if any such interests are considered incompatible with your position as a Commissioner of the Gambling Commission.
77. You must inform the Chair, who will inform DCMS (opens in new tab) of the offer of any new public appointments which may impinge on your duties as a Commissioner of the Gambling Commission. Your appointment as a Commissioner of the Gambling Commission may be terminated if any such position is considered to be incompatible and you proceed to accept it.
