* The effect on the trust and confidence of colleagues in relation to a
conflict of interest, fair treatment, their own ability to discuss issues
openly within a team or with their line manager;
* The perception of service users or the general public in relation to the
professionalism and fairness of the Council and its employees;
* Operational issues affecting the ability to deliver the service effectively;
* Conflicting loyalties and breach of confidentiality."
