Anti-Bribery Training
This Anti-Bribery Training programme has been designed to be used by anyone who could be exposed to bribery and/or corruption. It explains what bribery is and helps to increase understanding of situations where gifts and hospitality shouldn’t be offered or accepted.
Bribery is something that happens more often than you may think! In the UK, up to 1 in 4 organisations come under pressure to accept bribes or make illegal payments every year; or lose business to competitors as a result of bribes.
This Anti-Bribery Course aims to raise awareness. It explains the four offences that can be committed under The Bribery Act. And it looks at the fine line between gifts and bribes – when is it acceptable to give a gift or hospitality? And when might they be seen as a bribe?
It also explains what you should look out for - the signs that suggest that bribery might be taking place. It looks at what you should do if you’ve been given, offered or promised a gift or hospitality and think it might be a bribe, or if you suspect someone else is involved in bribery.
The training course uses a clear, easy-to-understand style, supported by excellent graphics and animation. Scenario-style questions are used throughout the programme as examples to test understanding.
This Anti-Bribery Training also works well alongside our Anti-Money Laundering and Data Protection Training titles.
Alternative languages available. Check our translation page if you require an alternative language.

2) Failing to Prevent Bribery
This section looks at the fourth offence from The Bribery Act - Failure to prevent bribery. It also looks at the six principles, or guidelines, which organisations must follow to help prevent them from committing this offence.
3) Bribes, Gifts and Hospitality
In this final section, we're looking at the fine line between what might be considered to be a gift and what might be considered to be a bribe. How do you decide? What can you offer, or be offered, without it being considered a bribe?
And we’re looking at common indicators that bribery may be taking place; suggesting why people might be involved in bribery; and explaining what should be done if bribery is suspected.
