It does not replace the Member’s Code of Conduct, the full description can be found in the GMCA’s constitution Part 7A. Your personal interests must be registered on the GMCA’s Annual Register within 28 days of your appointment onto a GMCA committee and any changes to these interests must notified within 28 days.

Page 2 FAILURE TO DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE STEP ONE: ESTABLISH WHETHER YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE BUSINESS OF THE AGENDA If the answer to that question is ‘No’ – then that is the end of the matter. If the answer is ‘Yes’ or Very Likely’ then you must go on to consider if that personal interest can be construed as being a prejudicial interest. STEP TWO: DETERMINING IF YOUR INTEREST PREJUDICIAL? A personal interest becomes a prejudicial interest: where the well being, or financial position of you, your partner, members of your family, or people with whom you have a close association (people who are more than just an acquaintance) are likely to be affected by the business of the meeting more than it would affect most people in the area. the interest is one which a member of the public with knowledge of the relevant facts would reasonably regard as so significant that it is likely to prejudice your judgement of the public interest. 2 FOR A NON PREJUDICIAL INTEREST FOR PREJUDICIAL INTERESTS YOU MUST YOU MUST Notify the governance officer Notify the governance officer for the meeting as soon as you realise you have a prejudicial interest (before or during for the meeting as soon as you the meeting) realise you have an interest Inform the meeting that you have a prejudicial interest and the nature of the interest Inform the meeting that you Fill in the declarations of interest form have a personal interest and the nature of the interest Leave the meeting while that item of business is discussed Fill in the declarations of Make sure the interest is recorded on your annual register of interests form if it relates to you or your partner’s interest form business or financial affairs.
