The Board of directors are individually and collectively expected to operate to high ethical standards, and in the best interests of the company. Conflicts may be real, perceived or potential and may be financial or non-financial.\nPolicy Statement\nThe objective of this policy is to ensure that Board members carry out their governance responsibilities in an honest, open and ethical manner and in compliance with the law and to limit or avoid any real or perceived conflicts of interests.\nDefinition of Conflict of Interest\nA conflict of interest arises when a director has, or is perceived to have, a personal, family or business interest or is involved in other community or professional activities that might benefit from a decision in which he/she is involved in making, or is able to influence those making it and/or is involved with a competing or sister organisation that may result in a divided/ limited loyalty in the context of making a decision.\nVoting for or against, or arguing for or against, a particular outcome may influence a decision. Limiting the options being considered may also influence the scope of the conflict of interest.\nExamples of Conflict of Interest in a Not-for-Profit / Charity Context (Please note this list is not exhaustive) may include:\nA Board member has a personal or business relationship with the company as a supplier of goods or services or as a landlord or tenant.\nA Board member is directly related to a staff member employed by the company.\nA Board member is related to  a major funder or donor\nA Board member is on the board of a not-for-profit entity with which the company is contracting.\nA Board member is on the Board of another not-for-profit entity with which the company competes for funds / donations.\nThe Board member has a competing professional duty (such as a journalist’s duty to protect the source of information).\nA Board member uses confidential information acquired as a result of their position within the company to promote their private interests.\nA Board member has received a gift or monetary/non-monetary benefit from someone who could benefit from a particular decision.\nConflicts of interest are unavoidable and should not prevent an individual from serving as a director unless the extent of the interest is so significant that the potential for undue influence is present in situations which can potentially damage the reputation of the company.\nWhen deciding whether a potential conflict of interest should be disclosed, consider the situation from an external perspective and if in doubt, err on the side of transparency and disclosure. This policy cannot describe and document all conflicts of interest, and its application may have limitations at times.\nDisclosure\nEach Board member is required to review this policy and declare any and every potential, perceived and real conflict annually. If the interest is anticipated, it should be declared prior to their nomination or election, otherwise they are obliged to disclose them when the circumstances arise. The form for declaration is found in Appendix I. Interests will be recorded on the register of interests, which will be maintained by the Company Secretary. The register will be accessible by the Board, the Chair and other appropriate people in the company\nThe information will be processed in accordance with data protection principles as per General Data Protection Regulations. Data will be processed only to ensure that directors and senior staff act in the best interests of the Company. The information provided will not be used for any other purpose other than protecting the best interests of the company.\nRights\nBoard members have a duty to exempt themselves from","cbCaitYWs5AliJjj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitYWs5AliJjj","docx",271587,"English","# Purpose\n# Policy Statement\n## Definition of Conflict of Interest\n## Examples in a Not-for-Profit/Charity Context\n# Disclosure\n# Rights\n# Procedure","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the conflict of interest policy?\",\"answer\":\"The policy ensures Board members perform governance responsibilities honestly, openly, and ethically, comply with the law, and limit or avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest.\"},{\"question\":\"What counts as a conflict of interest for a director?\",\"answer\":\"A conflict arises when a director has or is perceived to have a personal, family, or business interest, is involved in other activities that may benefit decisions, or is connected to competing or related organizations that could create divided or limited loyalty.\"},{\"question\":\"How must a Board member disclose potential conflicts and who maintains the records?\",\"answer\":\"Each Board member must review the policy and declare every potential, perceived, and real conflict annually, with earlier disclosure before nomination or election when anticipated.
