As part of a global humanitarian organisation dedicated to saving lives, alleviating suffering, and building self-reliance, all International Medical Corps UK staff are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct. Staff are required to comply with the Code of Conduct and Ethics and with all International Medical Corps UK policies and procedures. All staff play an essential role in preventing and addressing misconduct, including conflicts of interest, fraud, corruption, safeguarding failures, and any form of exploitation or abuse.

International Medical Corps UK is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and healthy working environment free from harassment, bullying, victimisation, or other inappropriate behaviour, enabling staff to establish and maintain professional and respectful working relationships. International Medical Corps UK places safeguarding at the centre of its work and governance. We are committed to protecting children and adults at risk, beneficiaries, staff, volunteers, and partners from harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including trafficking in persons.

We work to ensure that crisis-affected communities are meaningfully engaged in decisions that affect them, that risks are identified and mitigated, and that concerns are taken seriously and addressed appropriately. All staff are expected to support International Medical Corps UK’s culture of accountability towards our stakeholders, particularly the individuals and communities we serve. In line with our commitment to a speak‑up culture, and as a key mechanism through which we uphold ethical standards, all staff are required to report suspected or actual misconduct promptly and in good faith, in accordance with the Whistle blower Policy.

The Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Whistle blower Policy strictly prohibit any form of retaliation against individuals who raise concerns. Any breach of this protection may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contractual relationship with International Medical Corps UK.

International Medical Corps UK is proud to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants and does not tolerate unlawful discrimination in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.

It is our shared responsibility to prevent and address matters involving Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Trafficking in Persons, Child Safeguarding, and any other form of misconduct, including conflicts of interest, fraud, corruption, or harassment. Any individual who becomes aware of suspected misconduct is required to report it in accordance with International Medical Corps UK policies. All offers of employment with International Medical Corps UK are subject to satisfactory references and appropriate background checks.

In line with this Scheme, we will request information from applicants’ previous employers regarding any substantiated findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, and/or sexual harassment during employment, or where such matters were under investigation at the time the applicant left employment.
