CODE OF CONDUCT
PROTECTING OUR INFORMATION, AND PERSONAL DATA It takes a lot of
information, personal data and equipment to do what we do, so we must protect it. This
applies to all our systems and the data we hold, and taking care of the equipment we use to do
our jobs. But it’s our responsibility to keep information safe; from protecting our passwords,
to being mindful of where we open or access confidential work, particularly when working
remotely.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION We don’t tolerate bribery or corruption in any form. This
applies to all of us, including who we work with, and manage, our relationships with partners
and contributors. We take pride in being trusted and honest in all our work and we can’t
allow anything we do, or those we work with, to encourage, participate in, or condone a bribe
or any other unlawful payment or benefit. We must speak up if we see something wrong.
SAFEGUARDING We’re all responsible for keeping the children and vulnerable adults we
work with safe. This means putting their safety and wellbeing above everything else. We
support all our employees and freelancers are familiar with our guidance so that everyone is
safe and we all work in a culture where high standards of care are in place.
KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE It’s everybody’s responsibility to keep our people, systems,
data and buildings safe. Before our production, we will conduct a risk assessment, understand
the safety and emergency procedures wherever we’re working and find out how to get
additional support if we need it.
TREATING EVERYONE EQUALLY As an organisation we treat everyone fairly, equally
and with respect. We listen and invite new and different perspectives into our work and
conversations. We value our cultural differences and do everything we can to create and
nurture a respectful working culture. Hiring and promotion decisions will always be made in
line with our fair and transparent recruitment principles, reflecting our commitment to
equality and diversity. Everyone is respected.
RESPECTING OUR PLANET We want to be sustainable in production and everyday
running of our business with a net positive impact: giving back to the planet more than we
take. To do this we’ll cut our carbon emissions dramatically and work with our suppliers to
do the same. We all have a responsibility to play our part in achieving our sustainability
goals.
