They are also reproduced in most of our case reports that deal with a serious breach of a code of conduct. They are, for the most part, common-sense factors.
We look at the gravity of the situation in terms of how it affects the employees, and the number of people it affects. The level of a person is very important, which brings me to the point that sometimes we name wrongdoers and sometimes we don't. We believe that with higher responsibility comes accountability. A one-time breach committed by a very high-ranking official can constitute a serious breach, or a repetitive situation that is relatively minor but is repeated over time, such as people ignoring policies.
On this point, I want to say that I've heard from time to time, “How come there is no breach of policy in the definition of wrongdoing?” We include breaches of policy in the definition of wrongdoing and of a serious breach of a code of conduct. Public servants are expected to abide by policies. It can also constitute a case of gross mismanagement.
Yes, our factors are available.
