<p>The Northern Ireland Office's regulated public appointment processes comply with
the Governance Code on Public Appointments and are governed by the principle of appointment
on merit following a selection process that is open, impartial and assesses each candidate
against the same criteria for the role in question. The department does not ask for
references. However, in line with the Governance Code, candidates are asked to declare
relevant interests and these are discussed at interview.</p><p> </p>
