We expect all staff, governors, students and associated persons to act honestly and with integrity in their work and decision-making, and comply with our policies.

The University has a number of policies and procedures in place to make sure that the way in which we work on a day-to-day basis is properly controlled to reduce the likelihood of fraud, irregularity, bribery or corruption occurring.

Fraud and bribery are criminal offences in UK law and undermine the open, ethical and transparent way that the University is committed to operating. Any losses to the University through fraud, irregularities, bribery and corruption have wide-ranging implications including financial and reputational damage as well as diverting resources away from the University’s core operations and achievement of its strategic objectives.

Counter-Fraud Policy and Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy

The aims of the University's Counter Fraud, Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy are to:

Promote a culture of honesty and integrity
Set out our responsibilities, and the responsibilities of those working for us or on our behalf, in observing and upholding our position on fraud, irregularity, bribery and corruption
Provide information and guidance to those working for the University on how to recognise and address fraud, irregularity, bribery and corruption issues

The Counter Fraud, Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy applies to all individuals working at all levels and grades and should be read in conjunction with our Whistleblowing (‘Public Interest Disclosure’) Policy, Financial Regulations and Conflict of Interest Policy.
