Underlying Principles. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) underpins our shared approach to developing and advocating our work across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. BINOCC acknowledge the UNCRC as providing the principled framework for each office’s individual and shared work and will take a rights based approach in this. There is a shared recognition that the UNCRC is a universal convention that sets out standards that go beyond geographical boundaries, different jurisdictions or separate systems. However, BINOCC will always strive to recognise the impact of jurisdictions and offices and will always make other colleagues aware of actions taken and any possible implications before they are made public. Working Relationships Wherever possible, colleagues from the different offices will work jointly on matters of common concern that require the attention of the Commissioners/Ombudsman. The intention shall always be to raise matters of common concern in a planned and timely fashion. The offices will be proactive in informing other offices with regards to work and relationships with Government Departments and other organisations that have a remit over different jurisdictions. This will be supported by regular, on-going contact and open exchanges of information between the offices. This approach will include planning for and responses to Government(s) consultation processes. It is important that the different functions of the organisations work collectively across the jurisdictions and that there is a principle of planning and working across functions. There may be occasions when offices may wish to reply to a policy proposal or external communication opportunity that is unforeseen. In such instances, the Commissioners/Ombudsman will endeavor to base any policy positions on an extension of existing positions and/or evidence held by one or more office. The underlying principle for all communication about non-devolved matters is that where possible, agreement should be sought between the jurisdictions that the communication will impact upon, before it is issued. Where communication cannot be sought or reached, the jurisdiction issuing the communication will make aware the other jurisdictions upon whom it may impact. Shared Focus Staff at all levels in each office will take forward such issues/matters within their respective authority and remit and deliver against agreed objectives. Operational matters should always be agreed or resolved at the relevant...
Underlying Principles. The operation of the agency travel program requires a critical balance between agency responsibility for cost effectiveness and the authorized traveler’s need for quality services and support. The traveler shall select the least expensive and most efficient mode of travel while considering meal, lodging, mileage, and transportation costs. State agencies may consider alternate routes taken as a result of employee safety concerns when determining an employee’s mileage reimbursement. The following travel policies explain in detail how to request, document, and reimburse travel so authorized travelers can be assured that: • Reimbursements will be timely and accurate; • State-arranged billing and charging is protected for travel required in the future; and • Travelers and the agencies comply with applicable law and regulation. The traveler may receive partial reimbursement from other sources (non-state agency sources) for state travel expenses. The traveler may seek reimbursement from the agency for the difference between the partial reimbursement and the actual expenses. References • Chapter 660 of the Texas Government Code; • State travel laws and regulations contained in the General Appropriations Act, Article IX, Part 5; and • Policies and procedures developed by the State of Texas Comptroller (Comptroller).
