I conducted cursory desktop research into this matter. If I managed to do so then I am curious to learn why the HEA has not done so. I examined the national policy in the first instance. I also examined the policy of various institutes of technology and I have not got to the universities yet. I discovered that policies had big gaps and varied greatly in terms of their robustness, who was accountable for what, decision-making and how conflicts of interest were managed. I shall give some examples in a second.
