Special advisers' conduct and guidance

Special advisers are employed to help ministers on matters where the work of government and the work of the political party in government overlap, and where it would be inappropriate for permanent civil servants to become involved.

They are an additional resource for ministers, providing advice from a perspective that is politically committed and more politically aware than would be available to a minister from the Civil Service.
