New ITV rules require staff to ‘declare relationships with colleagues’ >https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/22/new-itv-rules-require-staff-to-declare-relationships-with-colleagues
Policy reportedly includes sexual relationships and friendships, and
launch follows Phillip Schofield’s resignation over workplace affair
Under a “Personal Relationships at Work Policy” distributed to all
staff this month, they are required to declare relationships with
colleagues which – as well as partners – include “a person living in >the same household” and “anyone involved in a sexual, romantic or
close relationship or friendship (whether short or longer term)”,
according to the Sunday Times.
It said that people who breach the policy could face disciplinary action
or even lose their job.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Could an employer really legally sack or discipline you for not telling
them about your private relationships?
How about one night stands?
This is a private company, but, if allowed, I can see a future government >wanting to role it into the DBS scheme. After all, if Maxine Carr had had
to tell her employer about Ian Huntley, and the DBS scheme had been in
place at the time, she could never have become teaching assistant to the >girls and Huntley wouldn't have had contact with them.

I would suggest that an employer should know about such relationships as
it might influence how one of them treats the other.

Where there is a huge power imbalance between the two individuals or in hierarchical military institutions it is a fairly common workplace restriction. The company I worked for back in the 1980's had such a
policy but was also prepared to break it from time to time when they
wanted to recruit two engineers who were already married to each other.
Relationships between senior managers and their reports were strictly forbidden although it didn't stop them happening. One I recall was
caught in flagrante with one of his underlings at work - not good for
career advancement. Relationships between peers were not uncommon and although theoretically against the company policy were generally ignored unless they affected smooth running of the company.

The company I worked for (also private) had a prohibition on
relationships between managers and subordinates and between pretty well anybody in Personnel and other staff. Too long ago now for me to
remember the exact terms but we did check with external solicitor if it
was enforceable and he said "yes".
I did have to enforce it once and we required one of the people
concerned to leave.

have such a prohibition, and moved someone when she married her manager.
But as for as I could discover, this 'rule' was not written down
anywhere in the (voluminous) employee handbook or employment contracts.
Don't most companies have policies regarding nepotism?

Well your propensity for engaging in acts of violence might certainly
be of interest to your colleagues; if only to the extent of upgrading
the first-aid facilities and possibly coming to work "tooled up".
