Relatives of Executive Management, as well as those working in Human Resources, Audit Services and Payroll departments shall not be hired by HFC in any capacity. C. Gifts to Heartland for Children representatives HFC representatives shall neither seek nor accept for themselves or others personal gifts, favors, entertainment, loans, unpaid services, or other types of gratuities from any person or entity doing business or in competition with HFC, clients, families of clients or referral sources.

Outside Activities a. Representatives shall not provide services such as management consultation to any outside concern which does business with or whose activities are adverse to HFC. b. All secondary employment must be disclosed using the Conflict of Interest/Secondary Employment Form and returned to Human Resources. These forms will be reviewed by the Risk Management Team with the Human Resources Director, using the following criteria: (1) does a conflict of interest exist; (2) does the employment interfere with HFC position; (3) does the employment present a risk to Heartland for Children's public image. c.

No record, entry, or document shall be false, distorted, misleading, misdirected, deliberately incomplete, or suppressed. Procedures for Conflict of Interest (1) It is the responsibility of each HFC employee to report any actual or perceived conflict of interest to Management, Human Resources, or the Employee Helpline (1-877-780-9374) (2) Upon new hire and annually, representatives will be asked to complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement, which must be signed and returned to the Human Resources Department within 30 days. The purpose of this is two-fold: a. acknowledgement of understanding HFC's policy on ethical behavior, including the responsibility to disclose any actual or perceived conflict of interest; b. disclosure of any conflict or appearance of a conflict between personal interests and the interests of HFC. (3) Failure to comply or falsification of disclosure may result in disciplinary action, including possible dismissal. (4) All employees disclosing a conflict or potential conflict must have the Conflict of Interest form reviewed by the Risk Management Team for final determination. (5) Conflict of Interest forms for Executive Management Team and HFC Board of Directors will also be sent to the Devereux Foundation's Corporate Compliance representative for their records. 2. Standards of Conduct Heartland for Children is committed to fully comply with all laws and regulations that apply to our organization.

Employees receive the corporate compliance training upon new hire and annually thereafter. Employees are reminded to: a. exercise good faith and honesty in all dealings and transactions; b. observe all laws and regulations that govern what we do; c. provide accurate and truthful information in all transactions; d. contact one of the following resources available within HFC if you have any knowledge or concern regarding potential fraud, falsification, waste, or abuse: (1) Supervisor or another manager; (2) If the supervisor or manager is not available, or you are not comfortable speaking with him or her, or you believe the matter has not been adequately resolved, contact the Director of Human Resources; (3) You may also report a concern by calling the Devereux Corporate Compliance Helpline. If you wish, you may remain anonymous when calling the Helpline. The Helpline is a confidential service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Helpline number is: 1-877-780-9374. 3.
