Bribery Act Statement

The Bribery Act 2010 was introduced to make it easier to tackle the issue of bribery which is a damaging practice. Bribery can be defined as ‘giving someone a financial or other advantage to encourage them to perform their duties improperly or reward them for having done so’. Provide CIC aims to provide excellent public service and needs to ensure propriety and accountability in all matters.
