Speaking out: clarity on expectations and values
This is one of three opinion articles published as a package, looking at the issue of political neutrality in the public sector.
Political neutrality in the public sector
The question of political neutrality in the public sector has dominated news cycles for the past week. High-profile director and IoD member, Rob Campbell CFInstD, was dismissed from two Crown entity board roles for speaking out on social media platform LinkedIn.
Today we publish the views of IoD Chief Executive Kirsten (KP) Patterson on this complex and seemingly divisive issue. And, as part of a package offering our members different views on this issue, we also publish IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) articles by Rob Campbell and Sir Ashley Bloomfield MInstD.
We hope these three opinion pieces will provide food for thought and insights around this topic.
