Zero-Tolerance Statement

Allen Associates (Oxford) Limited is committed to providing a professional, respectful and inclusive environment for our employees, candidates, clients, suppliers and everyone who engages with us.

We have zero tolerance for harassment, sexual harassment , discriminatory conduct, bullying, victimisation or other inappropriate behaviour in any work-related interaction. This standard applies whether contact takes place in person, by telephone, by email, on video calls, through messaging platforms, at client premises, during business travel or at work-related social and networking events.

Everyone engaging with our business is expected to treat others with dignity and respect. Conduct may be unacceptable even where it is described as a joke, banter or was not intended to cause offence. We encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses inappropriate behaviour connected with our business to raise it promptly by reporting it to the Managing Director.

Concerns will be taken seriously and handled as promptly, sensitively and fairly as reasonably possible. We will not tolerate retaliation or disadvantage against anyone who raises a genuine concern or supports an investigation.

Where concerns involve a client, candidate, supplier or other third party, we may investigate, set conditions for future contact, change the individuals involved, suspend services or contact, report conduct to an appropriate organisation or authority, or end the business relationship where appropriate. Any response will reflect the circumstances and our legal and contractual obligations.

This statement should be read alongside our internal policies and reporting procedures. It does not replace an individual’s legal rights or any obligation to report conduct to the police or another regulator where appropriate.
