Interpretation
All uses of the word "including" mean "including but not limited to" and the enumerated examples are not intended to in any way limit the term which they serve to illustrate. Any email addresses set out in this policy may be used solely for the purpose for which they are stated to be provided, and any unrelated correspondence will be ignored. Unless otherwise required by law, we reserve the right to not respond to emails, even if they relate to a legitimate subject matter for which we have provided an email address. As a matter of common sense, you are more likely to get a reply if your request or question is polite, reasonable and there is no relatively obvious other way to deal with or answer your concern or question (e.g. FAQs, other areas of our website etc.).
Our staff are not authorised to contract on behalf of Inbeta Limited, waive rights or make representations (whether contractual or otherwise). If anything contained in an email from an inbeta Limited address contradicts anything in this policy, our terms or any official public announcement on our website, or is inconsistent with or amounts to a waiver of any Inbeta Limited rights, the email content will be read down to grant precedence to the latter. The only exception to this is genuine correspondence expressed to be from the inbeta Limited legal department.

By using, participating in, and Interviewing with Inbeta, you acknowledge that you accept and consent to the practices and policies described in this Notice. Please read this Notice in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, as this Notice is incorporated therein by reference.
What is Biometric Data?
Biometric data means personal information about an individual's physical or human characteristics that can be used to identify that person and can include, among other things, a person's voiceprint.

Modern Slavery Policy
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
inbeta Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically, with integrity, across all our business dealings, relationships and implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or any of our supply chains. However, it is essential to note that we believe this is a low-risk area for inbeta Limited as our company focuses solely on executive leadership acquisition and performance and engages only professional executives to carry out our services.
Organisational Structure
inbeta Limited is an executive leadership performance business, generally providing services directly to our clients. However, where necessary, we may supplement our services with those provided by other executive partners operating in niche and specialist areas.
Where this is the case, inbeta Limited operates stringent measures to assess and ensure these other suppliers operate as 'true' Supply Chain Partners, mirroring our policies and standards, and in an ethical, legally compliant and professional manner. They are expected further to promote similar standards in their own supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Policy Structure
We expect the same high standards from all of our employees, contractors, suppliers and other business partners and as part of our contracting processes.
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee's employment contract, and we may amend it at any time.
Responsibility for the Policy
inbeta Limited has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations and that all those under our control comply with it.
inbeta Limited has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they effectively counter modern slavery.
Management at all levels is responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on it and modern slavery in supply chains.
You are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it might be improved. Comments, suggestions and queries are encouraged and should be addressed to the Board of Directors.
Compliance with the Policy
You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control.
You are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
You must notify a company Director as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future.
You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage.
If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may appear, you must notify a company Director OR report it per our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible.
Training for Staff
If you are unsure whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitutes any of the various forms of modern slavery, raise it with a company Director.
We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment due to reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or any of our supply chains.
Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform a company Director immediately.
If the matter is not remedied, and you are an employee, you should raise it formally using our Grievance Procedure, which can be found in the current employee handbook. This Modern (Anti) Slavery Policy and Statement is intended for businesses in all countries, especially the United Kingdom.
Communications & Awareness of this Policy
Training on this policy and the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us, and updates will be provided using established communication methods between the business and you.
Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.
Breaches of this Policy
Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
on behalf of the company Director's of inbeta Limited, 2021
