Welcome to our group's handbook. This is intended to help group members to find the information they need and to give prospective members an idea about what it is like to work with our group.
Conflicts of interest can be broadly described as situations where there is a potential risk that professional judgments or actions related to a primary interest (your duties to other people or organisation) may be unduly influenced by a secondary interest (personal or private). Secondary interests may be financial or non-financial or both, pose a risk of influencing students/ staff’s judgement or actions in ways that could favour the financial source inappropriately. Other secondary interests might involve pursuit of recognition, personal or private relationship (or a person with whom the staff or student has a close personal relationship) and professional career advancement.
All staff and students must be aware of the University’s Conflict of Interest Policy. Details are accessible here which may require your SSO login to download the documents.
