Title: [Department name or acronym] register of board members’ interests
Body:
[Department name or acronym] board and non-ministerial board members are asked to declare any interests or related party interests that are relevant to the work of the department as well as all remunerated outside employment, work and appointments (whether relevant or not).
An individual may have other interests and while the department is aware of these, they are judged to be not relevant to the individuals’ role and therefore not in scope for publication.
All relevant interests are managed by the department to prevent the risk of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest.
