Policies

​

We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner.

These include the following:

​

Recruitment and selection policy - We conduct checks on all prospective employees to verify that they are eligible

to work in the UK. Certain roles require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check where employees may be

working with vulnerable people.

​

Supplier code of conduct - We operate this policy to ensure our suppliers operate in full compliance with the laws,

rules and regulations of the countries in which they operate, and to seek similar commitments across their own supply

chain. 

​

Whistleblowing policy - We operate this policy so that employees are able to raise concerns about how staff are

being treated or practices within our business or our supply chains without fear of reprisal.

​

Staff code of conduct - We are committed to the fair treatment of all staff. Our staff code of conduct reflects our

core values and expected behaviours. The code of conduct makes it clear that we have a zero-tolerance approach to

modern slavery.

​

Safeguarding policy - This policy highlights the potential risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, including

how to identify signs of exploitation and how to report concerns.

We make sure our suppliers are aware of our policies and adhere to the same standards.

​

Due Diligence

 

As part of our efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, we

have adopted the following due diligence procedures:

Internal supplier audits.

 

Our due diligence procedures aim to:

• Identify and action potential risks in our business and supply chains.

• Monitor potential risks in our business and supply chains

• Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains.

• Provide protection for whistleblowers.

 

Risk and compliance

​

The Company has evaluated the nature and extent of its exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in its UK supply chain through:

 

• Evaluating the slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier.

• Creating an annual risk profile for key suppliers.

• Reviewing on a regular basis all aspects of the supply chain based on supply chain mapping.

 

We consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because the business operates in this risk level environment

because prospective candidates seeking work overseas are occasionally exposed to fraudulent practices by unscrupulous

agents and those same agents will cover their tracks with fake documents, letters and other bogus materials. To that end, we

are always alert to sharp practice and fraudulent activity.

​

We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains. Where there is evidence of failure to comply with our

policies and procedures by any of our suppliers, we will require that supplier to remedy the non-compliance.

​

Effectiveness

The Company uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure its effectiveness and ensure that slavery and human

trafficking is not taking place in its business and supply chains.

​

These KPIs are as follows:

• We will train our staff about modern slavery issues and increase awareness within the Company.

• We will carry out a regular audit of suppliers - 100% of suppliers each year.

​​

Training our staff

The Company requires its staff to complete training and ongoing refresher courses on slavery and human trafficking. The

Company's training covers:

• How to identify the signs of slavery and human trafficking.

• What initial steps should be taken if slavery or human trafficking is suspected.

• How to escalate potential slavery or human trafficking issues to the relevant parties within the Company.

• What steps the Company should take if suppliers in its supply chain do not implement anti-slavery policies in high- risk scenarios, including their removal from the Company's supply chain.

The statement was approved by the board of directors.
