Bribery Prevention

Common FAQs

How can I monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance in my organisation?

Implementing a gifts and hospitality register enables you to monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance effectively. Employees can log gifts, entertainment, and hospitality, providing a transparent overview of potential risks.

How can I effectively distribute my anti-bribery policy to employees?

Our Policy Hub allows you to upload and distribute your anti-bribery policy seamlessly to all employees. This centralised platform simplifies policy distribution and includes an attestation feature, ensuring employees acknowledge and commit to complying with the policy.

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Is our training content still compliant with the latest legislation?

  • For major legislative changes, we:
    • Will send you email alerts to ensure you are notified
    • Offer you a free trial of newly created or updated content
    • Host webinars with compliance experts to explain the changes and how our training supports your ongoing compliance

Can you translate our content into other languages?

Yes, we offer translations in a wide range of languages. Let us know your needs, and we’ll confirm availability or work with you to plan translations for your selected modules.

How can I give employees a secure way to record suspicious activity so we can act quickly?

Our Suspicious Activity Register allows staff to log concerns or irregularities they observe, helping you detect potential issues early. The secure register can be reviewed by compliance teams, enabling prompt investigation and action.
