Conflict of Interest
At BfN, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage applications to our vacancies from all of those with relevant experience. Through our recruitment process we have to ensure that all Conflicts of Interest are managed using the guidance from our ‘Conflict of Interest’ policy.

In order to manage any conflicts of interest, we request that you declare on your application form any potential conflicts as well as any relationships (family, personal) which you may have with directors, board members and other staff or volunteers. We will also be actively looking on Social media and the wider web to ensure that your public information is not conflicting with any views of the BfN, or seen to be negatively impacting the reputation of us as an organisation.
