Know your rights: an applicant's guide to the Code of Practice
While the Code of Practice is primarily designed for use by those who are responsible for and implement the public appointments process, some of its provisions are designed to ensure that applicants are fully informed about what they should expect, encouraged to apply if they have the required attributes and are treated with respect when they do so.
If you believe your experience of the public appointments process has been in breach of the Code of Practice, you can make a complaint.
