Duties of the Inclusion Officer

The Inclusion Officer supports and represents the employer in matters relating to people with severe disabilities and is primarily responsible for ensuring compliance with employer obligations.

Corruption is an offence that receives a lot of public attention. Even the suspicion of being involved in such an incident can severely damage both the reputation of the university and the individual concerned. Corruption often begins gradually and often begins with “small favours” such as gifts and rewards. This includes situations in which unsolicited advantages are offered. Therefore it is important to know the risks and to take action early. Stricter regulations apply for employees in civil service than in the private sector. Therefore, every employee at the university should be familiar with the relevant regulations. (See KorruR Nr 2.7 “Annahme von Belohnungen oder Geschenken” [Accepting rewards or gifts])

Our Corruption Prevention Officer is responsible for

• Raising awareness of and providing training around (internal professional development, BayLern; QM Portal) the issue of corruption among staff
• Providing information in the event that an attempt is made to manipulate and influence or in the event that suspicions are raised
• Following up on indications of corrupt behaviour and informing the University Management (see KorruR Nr 5.1 “Verhalten bei Auftreten eines Korruptionsverdachtes” [Conduct in the event of suspected corruption])

The Corruption Prevention Officer performs their duties independently of instructions and reports directly to the University Management. They can be approached for advice and assistance in their area of responsibility without going through any official channels.
