  • Slavery

  • Servitude

  • Forced or compulsory labour

  • Human trafficking

  • Review supplier relationships where concerns are identified.

  • Cooperate with relevant authorities where appropriate.

Reports can be made to the business owner or management.

All reports will be treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and confidentially.

No individual will suffer retaliation for reporting a genuine concern made in good faith.

8. Responsibilities

Management is responsible for:

  • Implementing this policy.

  • Promoting awareness of modern slavery risks.

  • Reviewing supplier relationships where necessary.

  • Taking appropriate action where concerns are identified.
