Confidentiality agreements should be signed by all government employees (and contractors / consultants) that have access to, or are expected to get access to, commercial-in-confidence / cabinet-in-confidence material. Such material should not be divulged to any third party unless otherwise exempted under specific contractual arrangements e.g. disclosures required by law, disclosures by a department's project director (or statutory authority depending on the nature of the agreement), to government departments and their agencies and / or disclosures to prospective shareholders or other investors. An organisational culture fostered on trust between employees could underpin the use of confidentiality agreements. Any incidence of non-compliance, however, should be escalated to government decision-makers e.g. senior human resources personnel or legal counsel for appropriate action.
