Nolan Principles

The Nolan Principles are a set of seven ethical guidelines for public officials to ensure integrity and trustworthiness. They include selflessness (placing public interests above personal gain), integrity (behaving honestly), objectivity (making decisions based on facts), accountability (taking responsibility for actions), openness (being transparent), honesty (truthfulness), and leadership (setting a positive example). These principles help prevent corruption and promote ethical conduct, fostering public confidence in government and organizations by ensuring officials act fairly, transparently, and responsibly.
