Many public sector organisations base their risk mitigation strategies on those we set out in our model policy:

  • Record and monitor
  • Restrict
  • Remove
  • Recruit
  • Relinquish or resolve.

These strategies can be adapted to suit the needs and functions of your organisation.

The risk mitigation strategy used to manage a particular conflict of interest should be proportionate to the risk and circumstances.

For more information, see key risk mitigation strategies.

We also offer a guide for managers on developing a conflict of interest management plan.
