Department-wide excluding the Office of Industrial Relations
Purpose
This procedure details the steps required to ensure Department of Education sponsorship activity is undertaken in an open, transparent, fair and responsible manner and is underpinned by the Queensland Government Sponsorship framework (Qld Govt employees only).
All departmental employees including school-based staff must comply with this procedure when engaging in sponsorship.
Overview
Sponsorship is the right to associate a sponsor’s name, product or services with the sponsored organisation’s initiative, in return for negotiated and specific benefits such as cash or in-kind support or promotional opportunities.
The department acknowledges that appropriate sponsorship activity can generate significant benefits for all parties. It is important to be mindful that inappropriate sponsorship can damage a school, department or the Queensland Government’s brand and public image. All sponsorships must withstand public scrutiny and not damage the reputation of a school, the department and Queensland Government or contravene departmental and whole of Queensland Government policies and procedures.
Before seeking sponsorship, it is important to assess whether your current budget allocation could cover costs. Sponsorship should only be sought when there is a genuine need and should not fund core activities.
Parents and Citizens’ Associations can use the sponsorship procedure, guideline and checklist to help guide decision making.
Sponsorship may be provided by the department (outgoing) or received (incoming).
Unacceptable sponsor organisations would:
- produce products that are harmful to the health and safety of students, such as tobacco or alcohol.
- not be able to withstand public scrutiny and would damage the school’s or department’s reputation, such as those associated with questionable corporate practices, or those associated with discriminatory attitudes
- be involved in the adult industry or gaming industry, however, organisations that receive grants or donations derived from the gambling industry, such as the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, may be acceptable
- be a political party or religious organisation
- restrict the department or school from handling products or services of a competitor of the sponsor organisation
- be contingent on the purchase of a product
- be involved in the manufacturing or selling of weapons including guns, or would be associated with the use of weapons.
Sponsorship (outgoing and incoming) must not:
- conflict with the core business of the department, be inconsistent with any existing policies or key strategies of the department or Queensland Government, or conflict with Queensland Government events and initiatives
- be discriminatory, obscene or degrading, or use sexual overtones to advertise products or services or be otherwise objectionable or offensive
- incite people to commit illegal acts or violate laws
- be part of a procurement process
- promote tobacco products, alcohol, drugs, the adult industry, gaming and gambling, religion or promote the services of high interest short-term loans, commonly known as ‘payday lending’
- involve a friend, relative or close business associate without the officer appropriately declaring and resolving or managing the conflict in accordance with the Conflict of interest policy and procedure
- involve politicians, political parties, political organisations and political aspirants
- involve sponsoring individuals
- involve an endorsement of organisations, individuals or products or services (e.g. testimonials)
- portray violence, undue aggression, and menacing or horrific elements likely to disturb children and young people or likely to disturb people in general
- include an unsolicited offer of a gift or where benefits will only be accrued upon supply of contact details of students, parents or guardians or involve, as a condition, an individual student’s participation in sponsored activities
- be a condition of a successful purchasing process or where a school receives a commission or incentive from the sale of an organisation’s goods or services.
- be targeted at students and made available on student lesson pages available on departmental or school intranet sites
- involve a sponsorship fee that will be used to provide sponsorship or a grant to a third party
- involve students providing personal information in order to access services provided by an organisation or compromise privacy including providing personal information about students, parents/guardians, staff or other members of a school community to any organisation not authorised to access this information
- involve an organisation regulated by the department unless ministerial authorisation is sought in advance
- promote food or drinks that do not align with the Smart Choices, Healthy Food and Drink Supply Strategy for Queensland Schools, including those items which are classified as ‘red’ under the strategy

Sponsorship – purchasing and procurement
Procurement and sponsorship activities of agencies must not influence decisions relating to each other.
Responsible officers must discourage any perception that providing sponsorship is a pre-requisite for doing business with government, or that providing sponsorship to a corporation implies an advantage in government purchasing and procurement decisions.
Regulators and sponsorship
If a school, regional office or central office considers a sponsorship agreement with an organisation the department regulates, it must be referred to the Minister, through SCE. Ministerial approval is required prior to entering these sponsorship negotiations with these organisations.
Organisations regulated by the department may include (but not limited to) childcare providers.
Ethical behaviour and fair dealing
Officers undertaking activities in relation to sponsorship must:
- disclose and manage any conflicts of interest between their private interests and their public duties in accordance with the Conflict of interest policy and procedure
- ensure any gifts received are recorded in the appropriate gift registry in accordance with the Gifts and benefits procedure
- not entertain approaches from sponsors or sponsorship recipients that might be interpreted as attempts to influence the sponsorship evaluation or an evaluation of a procurement process
- maintain confidentiality in all dealings
- maintain high standards of accountability
- apply systems and procedures that produce an equitable and efficient approach to sponsorship.
Three examples of unethical behaviour in the context of sponsorship are:
- entering into sponsorship agreements for personal gain
- creating the impression that the provision of sponsorship funding is a requirement for future business dealings with the department
- accepting sponsorship from an organisation and then making a purchase from the organisation without following a proper and transparent procurement or purchasing process.
Conflicts of interest can be actual, perceived or potential:
- an actual or real conflict of interest involves a direct conflict between a public official's current duties and responsibilities and existing private interests
- a perceived or apparent conflict of interest can exist where it is perceived that a public official's private interests might improperly influence the performance of their duties – whether or not this is the case
- a potential conflict of interest arises where a public official has private interests that could conflict with their official duties in the future.
A conflict of interest can exist even if an unethical or improper act has not occurred. Conflicts of interest are deemed to exist where benefits accruing to the family, friends or associates of a public official prevent the official from undertaking their public duties with integrity, impartiality and transparency.
It is important to recognise that a poorly-managed perceived or apparent conflict of interest can be just as damaging as a poorly-managed actual conflict of interest. The critical factor is that public officials must not only behave ethically, they must also be seen to behave ethically.
If you are unsure that you have a conflict of interest you may refer to the checklists located in the Crime and Corruption Commission – Managing conflicts of interest in the public sector: toolkit for guidance.
More information can be found in the department’s Conflict of interest policy and procedure.

The department and all employees of the department must be impartial, and cannot be seen or perceived, to be promoting or favouring an individual supplier.
For more information on endorsement please refer to the Purchasing and procurement procedure.

High risk activities
|
The department has the lowest appetite for risks associated with; safety of children and students; workplace health and safety of its staff and the community; security of confidential and personal information held by the department; and fraud and corruption.
