Standards in Public Life – The seven principles of public life,Publicly known as The ‘Nolan’ Principles
The Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles) apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder. This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), and in the health, education, social and care services.
All public office-holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services.

Upholding the Nolan Principles:
The Nolan Principles provide a guiding framework for those in public office to act with integrity, honesty, and accountability. The public can demand that council heads and their staff adhere to these principles, ensuring their actions are transparent, selfless, and in the best interest of the community.
By holding public officeholders accountable to these principles, the public can call for investigations into harms, seeking disciplinary action against those who fail to uphold ethical standards.
