Policy Statement

This policy supports our commitment to limiting the risk of modern slavery occurring within our own business or infiltrating our supply chains or any other business relationship.

The policy applies to all persons working for or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees, directors, officers, agency workers, contractors, consultants, apprentices and any other third party representative.

We expect all who have or seek to have a business relationship with the company to familiarize themselves with this policy and to act at all times in a way that is consistent with its values.

This policy will be used to underpin and inform any statement on slavery and human trafficking that we are required to produce further to the transparency in supply chain requirements of Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA).

What is Modern Slavery?

Modern slavery can take many forms. It is a complex and multi-faceted problem. The MSA covers four key criminal activities:

• Slavery – where ownership is exercised over an individual
• Servitude – involves the obligation to provide service imposed by coercion
• Forced and compulsory labour – all work or service, not voluntarily performed, which is obtained from an individual under the threat of force or penalty.
• Human trafficking – involves arranging or facilitating the travel of another with a view to exploiting them

Other forms of modern slavery, which we will not tolerate, but are not specifically referenced in the MSA include child labour. Whilst not always illegal in the jurisdiction in which it takes places, child labour involves the employment of children that is exploitative, or is likely to be hazardous to, or interfere with, a child’s education, health (including mental health), physical wellbeing or social development.

All forms of modern slavery have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for commercial or personal gain and amount to a violation of an individual’s fundamental human rights.

Tackling modern slavery requires us all to play a part and remain vigilant to the risk in all aspect of our business and business relationships.  

Our Supply Chain 

Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.

Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK suppliers

Most supplies are procured from large established UK companies also commited to the abolition and removal of modern slavery wherever it me be found.

Embedding the principles

We will continue to embed the principles through:

• ensuring that staff involved in buying or procurement and the recruitment and deployment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices
