Many public sector organisations base their risk mitigation strategies on those we set out in our model policy [linked]:
- 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 risk mitigation strategies which are based on our model policy in step 3 of our guidance.
We also offer a guide for managers on developing a conflict of interest management plan.
