Safeguarding Policy Scope of this Policy

About this Policy and Eligibility The aim of this Safeguarding policy is to provide an environment safe from harm, abuse, harassment and bullying and to provide all employees and workers with information about the safeguarding policy adopted by the ABPI. [...] If the background check reveals that an applicant is not suitable, the offer of employment will be withdrawn by the ABPI and the applicant will not be employed. [...] In both cases, if this is not possible, the ABPI may need to consider dismissal of the employee on the basis of the statutory ban imposed by the disclosure. [...] The ABPI may be unable to continue to employ the employee in any capacity if the continued association with the employee cannot be maintained, causes reputational damage to the employer or other reasons that harm its position in the marketplace. [...] The line manager will need to be informed of the names of the people involved (if known), what type of abuse is or may be occurring, and the dates and times this occurred (if known).
