CODE OF CONDUCT: REGISTRANTS

SEO London supports you to secure career success through quality programmes and holistic support. You may also be recommended to firms based on your behaviour and performance on the programme. We encourage you to treat every experience with SEO London as an opportunity to build your career prospects and further develop your professional persona. 

 

We expect everyone to abide by the SEO London Code of Conduct which is designed to ensure a positive and productive experience for all. If there are any challenges meeting these expectations, promptly communicate with the programme team to disclose the issue and any necessary support. Failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct could risk future access to SEO London opportunities and our alumni offer. 

 

We aim to provide a safe environment free from discrimination, upholding and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion. We will do everything we can to provide a safe and caring environment whilst you engage with our activities. If you have concerns about the welfare of yourself or others, or observe behaviours from any member of staff, volunteer or peer that contravene the behaviours outlined in the code of conduct, please raise this with a member of staff or ask for the Designating Safeguarding Lead. Do not keep concerns confidential.
