Document background
The Intern Confidentiality Agreement is essential for organizations in England and Wales that engage interns who may have access to sensitive business information. This document should be implemented before the intern begins their placement and maintains its validity even after the internship ends. It defines confidential information, establishes clear obligations for maintaining confidentiality, and protects the organization's intellectual property and trade secrets. The agreement ensures compliance with UK legislation including the Trade Secrets Regulations 2018 and Data Protection Act 2018, while balancing the organization's need for security with the intern's rights.
