REPORT
It is one thing for, say, a manual worker to gain some extra hours working in a pub, or a nurse to gain extra hours in the private sector. But it is completely another thing for the most senior members of staff to take on other roles that may put them in potential conflict with their duties. One would have thought that, from a perception point alone, for senior staff to take on other roles would be unacceptable; let alone them having the capacity to do so.
In these situations, one always tries to avoid discussion about an individual.
It seems to be that the rules surrounding this area need to be updated and, in particular, that the rules regarding senior roles need to be more stringent.
I welcome any amendments to my proposition. Financial and manpower implications
This can all be met within current departmental budgets.
