Use of resources
Employees must also ensure that they use public funds entrusted to them in a responsible and lawful manner. They should strive to ensure value for money to the local community and to avoid challenge to the Council.
Employees should always ensure that any facilities such as vehicles, stationery, computer or secretarial services provided by the Council used in their duties are used strictly for those duties and for no other purpose. This will not prohibit staff from “working from home” and from time to time taking necessary equipment home for this purpose. However, as a safeguard, you should alert your line manager that you are intending to take home valuable equipment.
