We regularly review the the standards of conduct, performance and ethics to make sure they are relevant to current practice, and can be clearly understood by those who use them
The latest review of the standards began in May 2022. It has included pre-consultation and consultation workshops, and engagement across stakeholder groups.
Formal consultations
We hosted a public consultation on the proposed standards and the guidance on social media from 27 March until 16 June 2023.
