Our firm acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within our organisation and with suppliers of goods and services to the organisation. These as well as the suppliers of services make up the supply chain within our firm.

 

Our firm currently only sources its products and goods from within the UK and EU.

 

As part of our organisation’s due diligence processes into slavery and human trafficking the supplier approval process will incorporate a review of the controls undertaken by the supplier. Imported goods from outside the UK and EU are potentially more at risk for slavery/human trafficking issues. The level of management control required for these sources will be continually monitored by the director of our firm.

 

We will encourage suppliers and contractors, and exercise influence, to adopt responsible business policies and practices including working towards eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking in supply chains.

 

We will Communicate to our business partners and suppliers our commitment against modern slavery and human trafficking-related practices, (although we are not expected to guarantee that all our supply chains are “slavery free”).

 

Our company will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking and the company director/s and senior management shall take responsibility for implementing this policy statement and its objectives and shall provide adequate resources (training, etc) and investment to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place within the organisation and within its supply chain.

 

A full copy of this policy and a copy of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 will be accessible to all employees electronically and can be obtained from the HR department upon request.

 

This policy statement will be reviewed annually and published.

 

This policy takes into account, and supports, the policies and procedures and requirements documented in our Quality Management System. The implementation and operation of this management system underlines our commitment to this policy. Formal procedures concerning slavery and human trafficking have been established, including disciplinary procedures where they are breached. This policy should be communicated to all levels of the company and it should be regularly reviewed by the director/s to ensure its continuing suitability and relevance to the company activities.

 

The aims of this policy will be communicated to new staff upon joining and at annual staff reviews.

 

We confirm that we are a relevant commercial organisation as defined by Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and that we are compliant with annual reporting requirements contained in Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

 

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 imposes reporting obligations on all commercial organisations supplying goods or services which carry on their business or part of their business in the UK, and which have a total turnover exceeding £36 million in any financial year.
