They will not make false statements about their skills, experience or activities, or about those of their organisation or colleagues, and at all times remain mindful of the scope and limitations of their techniques and capabilities.
• Researchers will always be aware that they are representing their clients. They will at all times seek to ensure they are positively and accurately representing and articulating their client’s employer brand.
• They will not mislead or use false information in order to access information nor claim to represent any actual organisation or company not involved in the research, nor undertake any activity which could damage the reputation of their client.
• Researchers will agree timescales for delivery of the research project at the beginning of each new assignment, ensuring they are able to deliver results in a timely fashion.
• Researchers shall ensure that projects and activities are designed, carried out, reported and documented accurately, transparently and objectively.

• Off limits companies will be agreed at the beginning of each research project and every reasonable precaution will be taken to adhere to such agreements during the course of a research project.

• Researchers will always support equal opportunities for all, avoiding prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual’s race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or to any physical or mental illness or disabilities.
