This document contains information on the revised Model Code of Conduct for Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs), as issued by the Standards Commissions for Scotland. The Cairngorms National Park Authority seeks the Board's agreement to adopt the revised Model Code as their own, with no amendments. The revised code includes updates on language, application to social media, and clarity on declarations of interest, with the Scottish Government expecting NDPBs to adopt the code within six months of its approval. The Director of Corporate Services and Deputy Chief Executive recommends adopting the revised Model Code in full.
