The University has updated relevant policies specifically to take account of the Bribery Act 2010.

The University of Reading is dedicated to conducting all its academic, administrative and commercial operations in a law-abiding and ethical manner and will not tolerate acts of bribery or corruption by staff or its associates in any jurisdictions.

Updated policies include: 

The Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Conduct Policy

The Procurement Policy

The Financial Regulations

The Expenses and Hospitality Policy

In order that the implications of the Bribery Act 2010 are properly understood, attention is drawn to these policies, as described in ‘Bribery Act 2010: University Policy Statement' on the Governance website >>>

Staff should read the policies carefully and think about the ways in which they apply to their own work.
