You must be careful not to imply, by your behaviour, that you may be
influenced by gifts while acting in an official capacity on behalf of the
College. As a general rule, all gifts should be declined. When any offer
of a gift is declined, you should explain the College policy, and illustrate
how your acceptance of gifts could be misconstrued. Exceptions to the
rule include the acceptance of small gifts such as trade pens, pencils,
diaries or calendars, up to the value of £25. If you do accept a gift with
an individual value over £25, it must be reported to your Supervising
College Officer or Head of Department, who will then arrange for this to
be recorded in the Register of Interests held in the College Office.
Should we wish to carry out a search of you or your personal property as
part of a security operation, or an investigatory process, we will seek your
consent. You will be informed of the reason for the search, and we will
retain a written record of the search and our findings. If you refuse
consent, this will be recorded and may be used in evidence at a
disciplinary meeting.
We acknowledge the mutual obligation of confidence and trust implied
into our contract of employment with you and will not act in such a way
as to destroy that relationship.
