The detail around how we do this is set out in our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking policy which is supported by policies on Human Resources and Whistleblowing and by the framework and policies we have in place for the procurement of goods and services for the business. Employees who need to understand our commitment as part of their roles, in particular those working in human resources, agency staff recruitment and in the procurement of goods and services, are provided with training on our standards and processes and on how to spot and react to modern slavery issues. 

Our Workforce

We consider our workforce to be valued members and stakeholders of our business and treat them with care and respect. We support our employees’ safety and wellbeing. A whistleblowing service ensures that they can raise concerns directly to senior management without fear of retribution, victimisation or detriment.

Our Supply Chain

Our framework and policies for the procurement of goods and services for the business requires an assessment of all new suppliers based on a number of risk factors including the nature of services, spend, country of origin and standard operating procedures. Any areas of concern are investigated fully and we will not trade with any business if issues come to light as a result of the risk assessment which cannot be resolved by a supplier.

  • Including specific questions on Modern Slavery Act compliance in our due diligence process for suppliers;
  • Reviewing and conducting checks on our existing suppliers on a risk assessed basis for Modern Slavery Act compliance;
