Fifty5Contracts encourage any employee or sub-contractor to decline to carry out any working activity, if they feel it is not safe to do so.

Regular consultation will be held between the Managing Director and employees to resolve any problems which may arise.
Information will be provided to employees on subjects relevant to any consultation that they will be involved with such as the planning of health and safety training; and risk and hazards involved during the course of their work. To resolve problems both parties, if necessary, will jointly seek expert impartial advice.
Employees who feel that problems are not being satisfactorily resolved by line management should highlight such concerns to the Managing Director directly, however this does not affect employees’ rights to contact the Health and Safety Executive or the Companies Health & Safety Consultant independently.

-
Fifty5Contracts is committed to the highest standards of openness, integrity and accountability. An important aspect of accountability and transparency is a mechanism to enable employees to voice concerns in a responsible and effective manner.
It is a fundamental term of every contract of employment that employees will act in good faith and fidelity towards their employer and not disclose confidential information about the employer’s affairs. Nevertheless, where an individual discovers information which they believe shows serious malpractice or wrongdoing within the organisation then this information should be disclosed internally without fear of reprisal.
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1999, gives legal protection to employees against being dismissed or penalised by their employers as a result of publicly disclosing certain serious concerns.
This policy is intended to assist individuals who believe they have discovered malpractice or impropriety. It is not designed to question financial or business decisions taken by Fifty5Contracts nor should it be used to reconsider any matters which have already been addressed under harassment, complaint, disciplinary or other procedures.
Concerns may be raised that are in the public interest. These could include;
Financial malpractice or impropriety or fraud
Failure to comply with a legal obligation or statutes
Dangers to Health & Safety or the environment
Criminal activity
Improper conduct or unethical behaviour
Attempts to conceal any of these.
This policy is designed to protect Fifty5Contracts employees who disclose such concerns provided the disclosure is made:
In good faith
In the reasonable belief of the individual making the disclosure that it tends to show malpractice or impropriety and if they make the disclosure to the appropriate person.
If malicious allegations are made these could give rise to legal action on the part of the persons complained about.
Fifty5Contracts will treat all whistleblowing disclosures in a confidential and sensitive manner. The identity of the individual making the allegation may be kept confidential so long as it does not hinder any investigation. However, the investigation process may reveal the source of the information and the individual making the disclosure may need to provide a statement as part of the evidence required.
Individuals are encouraged to put their name to any disclosures they make. Concerns expressed anonymously are much less credible but they will still be considered by Fifty5Contracts.
If an individual makes an allegation in good faith, which is not confirmed by subsequent investigation, no action will be taken against that individual. In making a disclosure the individual should exercise due care to ensure the accuracy of the information. If, however, an individual makes malicious or vexatious allegations, and particularly if he or she persists with making them, disciplinary action may be taken against that individual.
Complaints of malpractice will be investigated by the Managing Director.
If evidence of criminal activity is uncovered during the investigation then the Managing Director will notify the police.
On receipt of a complaint, the Managing Director will send a written acknowledgement to the complainant and thereafter report back to them in writing the outcome of the investigation and the action that is proposed. If the investigation is a prolonged one, the complainant will be kept informed, in writing, as to the progress of the investigation and as to when it is likely to be concluded.
If the investigation finds the allegations unsubstantiated and all internal procedures have been exhausted, but the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome of the investigation, Fifty5Contracts recognises the lawful rights of employees and ex-employees to make disclosures to prescribed persons (such as the Health and Safety Executive, the Audit Commission) or, where justified, elsewhere.

Fifty5Contracts appreciate the importance of ethical behaviour. Our first business principle deals with ‘integrity in corporate conduct’ which commits us to implement anti-corruption policies and procedures. Our second business principle ‘ensuring openness and transparency’ commits us never to engage in bribery, any form of unethical inducement or payment including facilitation payments and ‘kickbacks’. This policy is part of those commitments.
The UK Bribery Act 2010 creates offences and penalties for bribery and corruption. The UK Bribery Act 2010 creates a corporate offence of failure to prevent bribery, and requires Fifty5Contracts to implement ’adequate procedures’ to prevent bribery. This policy sets out the responsibilities of Fifty5Contracts employees in preventing bribery and corruption and how we will implement ’adequate procedures’ to do so.
For the purposes of this policy, bribery occurs when one person offers, pays, seeks or accepts a payment, gift, favour, or a financial or other advantage from another to influence a business outcome improperly, or to induce or reward improper conduct. Bribery and corruption – whether involving government officials, or commercial entities, including joint ventures – can be direct or indirect through third parties like agents, brokers and joint venture partners. It includes facilitation payments even though in some countries facilitation payments are legal.
Under the UK Bribery Act 2010, Fifty5Contracts is required to put procedures in place to prevent bribery by any individual or organisation that performs services for or on behalf of Fifty5Contracts. Consequently, this policy applies to every Fifty5Contracts employee, director and officer.
Contractors, consultants or suppliers who are Fifty5Contracts agents or who are working on our behalf or in Fifty5Contracts name, through outsourcing of services, processes or any business activity, will be required to act consistently with this policy when acting on our behalf. Independent contractors, consultants or suppliers will be made aware of this policy as it applies to our people in their dealings with them. Our responsible procurement and supplier management policy will also continue to apply to suppliers.
Responsibilities
Managing Director:- Legally responsible for ensuring fraud and corruption are prevented, detected and investigated. Combating fraud and corruption (including) bribery requires an understanding of how and why it happens, the ways in which it can be minimised and how to professionally investigate.
All Employees, Directors and suppliers acting on behalf of Fifty5Contracts:-
Individually responsible for conforming to the rules and regulations contained in Fifty5Contracts Anti Bribery and Corruption Policies & Procedures.

When a member of staff suspects that there has been fraud, corruption or bribery, they must report the matter to the Managing Director.
Giving Gifts, Gratuities and Hospitality
Fifty5Contracts will never provide gifts or hospitality with the intention of influencing anyone to act improperly or of influencing a public official in the performance of his duties.
Our policy does not prohibit giving promotional or personal gifts of low value or extending appropriate hospitality, provided that such gifts and hospitality are given to indicate regard for the individual in question and for the business relationship rather than to induce them to act improperly.
As a very general guide, gifts to individuals should not normally have a value in excess of £50. Hospitality should involve sharing (as opposed to gifting or providing) good quality food and drink but should not be lavish or extravagant in the local context.
NOTE:- Not under any circumstance is it acceptable for any persons working for/on behalf of Fifty5Contracts including affiliates to give or receive money as a gift.
