Declaration of interest

Data submitted via this form will be handled in line with the University of Surrey's information management policies.

The University requires information about activities that may represent a conflict of interest, which could make it advantageous for an employee to put any personal considerations above the obligation to the University.

Please refer to the Ethical Conduct Procedure for further guidance.

The University does not require information about private activities which:

  • do not affect the impartial discharge of his/her University and Faculty or Administrative/Service Department duties
  • do not involve a potential conflict of interest

If in doubt, you are advised, for your own protection, to disclose.

Completion of this online form generates an email of your declaration. The email is automatically sent to secretariat@surrey.ac.uk and to you. The secretariat, in processing your declaration, will need to liaise with your line manager. You may therefore wish to forward a copy of the declaration or discuss it with your line manager so they are aware.
