• to ensure that consent is obtained either generally or expressly;
• to ensure that policies and procedures are in place to enable access by those whom the data concerns;

We will communicate this policy and relevant guidance to employees across the company, through our established internal communication channels. We will also communicate this policy to our suppliers, contractors and business partners and wider stakeholders. We are committed to provide relevant training on how to implement this policy.
