To many people the C&G certification is a bench mark standard.  What is next will they be selling off Cambridge or Oxford University?

As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate.

  • It appears the 7 Nolan Principles of Rules for Public Life have been  totally ignored in this case

    1. Selflessness – Holders of public office always place the public interest before themselves.
    2. Integrity – Holders of public office must not take unfairly decisions that benefit themselves or people they know and should report all conflicts of interest.
    3. Objectivity – Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.
    4. Accountability – Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.
    5. Openness – Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.
    6. Honesty – Holders of public office should be truthful.
    7. Leadership – Holders of public office should act as examples to others and call out poor behaviour when they see it.

    Does/Should the C&G which is a Royal Chartered Institute and charity need to follow the 7 Nolan Principles?

  • in reply to Sergio Fernandez

    No as charities are not public bodies unless they are engaged in providing a public service.

    It is recommended that charities follow the Nolan principles but not a legal requirement so not enforceable.

    One for the lawyers to decide if providing qualifications is a public service.

    If City & Guilds get some funding direct from the Government it could be argued that Nolan Principles apply? In any case the Chair of City & Guilds has been appointed to the House of Lords so it applies there.
