For the duration of 24 months following your departure from the FCDO, you should not draw on (disclose or use for the benefit of yourself or the organisation to which this advice refers) any privileged information available to you from your time as a Civil Servant; and
For the duration of 24 months following your departure from the FCDO, you should not become personally involved in lobbying HMG on behalf of your new employers. Lobbying in this context means that you should not engage in communication with Government (including Ministers, special advisers, and officials) with a view to influencing a government decision or policy in relation to your own interests, or the interests of the organisation by which you are employed, or to whom you are contracted. The lobbying ban is not seeking to prevent communications with Government, which might be described as in the normal course of business; for example, where the Government holds regular stakeholder events with an industry or sector, or where the purpose of any dealings is to take forward an existing Government policy or negotiations. |
