Gifts and Gratuities
Employees of Dulwich College Seoul may not accept personal gifts (an item) or gratuities (a free benefit, such as a meal or a ticket) from parents or suppliers. This is because the integrity of professional relationships and decision-making may be questioned if gifts or gratuities have been received. The practice also runs counter to the ethical guidelines of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, DCI-policy and in some circumstances the law in South Korea.
Parents are informed of the College’s policy through the Parent Handbook, through newsletters and the College Gifts and Gratuities Policy. In the event of being offered a gift or gratuity, all employees should refuse politely by citing College policy.
