Welcome to the Reading Ethical Recruitment Charter

Making Reading a better place to work

Back in January 2019, and following numerous reports of job-applicants abuse, Reading Borough Council has decided to not only tackle any form of wrongdoing but also to promote and encourage ethical recruitment practices. With the support of Ethical Reading, it has initiated the launch of an ethical recruitment initiative based on a dedicated charter and breach monitoring system.

The objectives

The council was keen to provide a community-anchored deterrent for job-applicant abuse and exploitation and to promote ethical recruitment practices. This is a perfect fit with Ethical Reading’s ambition to make Reading a better place to live and work and our aims to inspire, educate and collaborate.

Together we’re now offering local businesses the opportunity to declare their commitment to ethical recruitment practices by signing up to the Reading Ethical Recruitment Charter and providing guidance to ensure they walk the talk.

Job applicants can report breaches of the Charter by organisation that have signed up to it, helping to hold them to account.
