Board Declarations of Interest
WFHA is committed to openness and transparency, and as part of our commitment we collate, on at least an annual basis, potential and actual conflicts of interest of Board Members, our Executive and staff team.
In accordance with the National Housing Federation’s Code of Governance 2020, we publish our declaration of interest register for all Board Members annually.
In addition to this annual process, we require Board Members to declare any conflicts of interest at the commencement of each meeting and to submit a new declaration in the event their potential or actual conflicts change.
The public register is available below.
