There must be no conflict of interest between your business activities and the non-executive role.

As lead non-executive board member, you have the chance to make a positive difference to the communities we serve and to wider society. The Crown Prosecution Service is a diverse and inclusive employer and works hard to create a culture where everyone can thrive.
