Confidentiality is both a matter of professional ethics and a core policy of the London Food Coalition. All individuals involved in the Coalition’s operations—including employees, volunteers, and students—are expected to maintain strict confidentiality regarding any information obtained through their role. This includes information that is written, spoken, or observed in the course of Coalition activities. No personal, organizational, or operational information may be shared with external parties without the informed consent of the individual and/or their legal guardian.

I understand and accept the London Food Coalition’s Confidentiality Policy and agree to keep all information obtained through my role confidential. I will not discuss or disclose details related to clients, member organizations, or internal operations outside of what is required for my role. I will not remove or reproduce any confidential materials—whether written, electronic, or digital—without explicit permission from the Executive Director or their designate.
