A Somerset Council officer is under review for receiving a £1,000 bequest from a supported resident, sparking ethics concerns and a policy review.
A Somerset Council officer is under review after being left £1,000 in the will of a resident the council supported for five years, prompting a policy review.
The gift was reported as required, and the council updated its public register of gifts worth £25 or more, including items like hotel stays and festival tickets.
While officials say disclosure rules were followed, some councillors expressed concern over conflicts of interest and urged that such bequests go to charity, citing past cases where staff lost jobs over similar gifts.
The debate highlights ongoing tensions over ethics in public service and perceptions of impartiality.
