A declaration of interest (DOI) form is used to protect the organisation and its workforce, customers and suppliers from actual or perceived conflicts of interest or bias.
All employees and those carrying out work on behalf of us are responsible for completing this form when they first start work and as soon as their circumstances change after that.
Read the declaration of interest policy (PDF, 420KB) for more information.
We also expect all employees to complete this form every November, even when you have nothing to declare or no changes to make.

When to use the declaration form
Use this form to let your manager know about:
- any offers of gifts or hospitality that have been made to you - view the Gifts and hospitality policy (PDF, 454KB)
- any business, commercial or financial interests that could be influenced by your role at the council
- a personal relationship you have at work - view the personal relationships at work policy (PDF, 431KB)
- any paid or unpaid work you are thinking about doing outside of the council
You're responsible for completing this form as soon as any of the things on this list apply to you. Once declared, all interests, relationships and outside work should be re-declared every November or sooner if anything changes.
If you have nothing to declare, you must still return the form to confirm this every year.
