Declaration of Interest
Board members complete a Declaration of Interest when they join to ensure they’re fit to be appointed and that we have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery. Board members renew their Declarations annually to make sure they’re fit to continue in their roles.
The Declaration asks Board members about any other Board or Committee member positions they have, as well as other employment – this is so we can check if there’s a conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest are also raised at the start of all Board and Committee meetings.
Our Company Secretary keeps the Declarations of Interest which you can ask to see, if needed – contact us for to see the Declarations of Interest or for more information.
