Adopted 17th June 2019
Next review date:  Feb 2026  (Reviewed Triennially)

Policy Statement
The standard of behaviour expected at KingsGate School is that all staff and School Board members effectively manage conflicts of interest between the school's interests and their personal, professional, and business interests. This includes managing potential and actual conflicts of interest, as well as perceptions of conflicts of interest. 

Definition
A conflict of interest includes, but is not limited to, involvement in a transaction or decision where their family or partner, employer, or close associates will receive a benefit or gain.

Purpose
This policy's purposes are to protect the integrity of the school decision-making process, ensure confidence in the school’s ability to protect the integrity and reputation of School Board members, and meet legislative requirements.
