Do the Conduct Regulations apply to contractors who work outside the UK? The intent behind the Conduct Regulations is that they apply to any recruitment businesses where the recruitment effort takes place in the UK, disregarding where the contractors are from and where they are going to work. In these scenarios, it is recommended, if appropriate, and if the contractor wishes to, to gain the relevant signed opt-out of the Conduct Regulations. You can access the Conduct Regulations here: https://lnkd.in/ekuvinn7 Members can access our model of opt-out on our website: https://lnkd.in/ecUNEJ8K #APSCo #FAQWednesday #WednesdayWisdom #APSCoMembers

What is social mobility and why is it an important part of ED&I? 💭 In this blog post by Caroline Fox, we explore how businesses can support socio-economic diversity in the workforce. To give you an example of the importance of addressing social mobility, this recent report highlights existing socio-economic disadvantages: 📝 The Social Mobility Commission’s 2023 State of the Nation report shows that 85% of young people believe they will have to leave their place of upbringing in order to succeed professionally. The report also indicates a class pay gap in the country, with working-class professionals earning 12% less than their middle- and upper-class counterparts annually. The gap widens further at the intersections of other marginalised communities with working-class women, for example, experiencing a pay gap of 16%. So, how can we address these challenges and bridge the gaps?
