CONFIDENTIALITY OF PAPERS

The SSAP will operate in an open and transparent way in accordance with its policy on openness as outlined in the following section. However, at times members will receive papers which should be treated as confidential. To ensure clarity in this area SSAP papers will be marked in one of three ways, as follows:

  • 'For Members' Use Only'. These papers include draft minutes of meetings and draft reports or advice. This mark is used for any commercially or other sensitive information released solely for the information of the SSAP. Papers with this marking are for the exclusive use of Members and should not be shown to, or discussed with, anyone else.
  • 'Not for Publication'. These papers may be shown to professional colleagues for the purpose of furthering the SSAP's work on a 'need to know' basis, but they are not for wider disclosure. They may be shown to, or discussed with, colleagues on a confidential basis. They should not normally be copied; but if for any reason they are, the copy should be returned to the member.
  • 'For Information' (or any papers bearing no mark at all). These papers may be shown freely or discussed with anyone. These papers will mostly be those containing published material (e.g. published research or agendas of meetings which will also be available to the public).
