Suppliers As a group we do not carry out detailed checks to test suppliers’ compliance with Company standards against trafficking and slavery throughout the entirety of their own supply chain. The group does, however, require suppliers to certify that they comply with our Supplier Guidelines and Requirements; these Guidelines and Requirements include the need to make sure that their own chains are compliant and the results of that certification are audited. Contracts will be terminated as soon as possible if a supplier breaches the Guidelines. Employees The Group only employs people who are allowed to legally work in the United Kingdom. The Group have processes in place to ensure that employees eligibility to work status is validated in line with current legislation. There is a further statement contained within the staff handbook which makes it clear that human trafficking and slavery is an offence and therefore unacceptable. Violation of these policies by any employee could result in disciplinary action and potentially dismissal. Agency Workers The Group only uses reputable employment agencies to source labour; it always verifies the practices of any new agency it is using before accepting the provision of labour. Communication and training As well as our employees being aware of our position on modern slavery and human trafficking, those employees who deal with suppliers or in a position of management are required to familiarise themselves with the Modern Slavery Act in more detail.
