Standards and Probity

Cleveland Fire Authority adopted the revised Code of Conduct for Members on 27 July 2007. Under the Code of Conduct all Members must ensure that they register certain interests, specified in the Code, in the Authority’s Register of Members‘ Interests. Details of any changes to registered interests must also subsequently be included in the Register.

Whilst this electronic version of Members‘ registered details will be updated on a periodic basis, a hard copy version of the Register is held at Fire Brigade Headquarters, Endeavour House, Stockton Road, Hartlepool. This version is updated as and when details of any additions, details or other changes are received, and is available for public inspection during normal office hours, by appointment. Please contact the Head of Corporate Support on 01429 874073 should you wish to arrange an appointment to inspect the register.
