This statement is published with regards to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 – England and Wales

Definition of Modern Slavery

Modern slavery is a title which covers all forms of slavery, servitude, trafficking and forced labour. Victims of modern slavery can be men, women and children of any age across the world. By its nature, modern slavery is usually hidden and is not confined to international borders and can exist up and down the traditional supply chain.

Our Approach

We are committed to acting with integrity, at all times, ensuring that all of our business dealings undergo relevant ethical considerations and the utmost transparency. We recognize that our field of business provides a heightened risk and we are committed to maintaining effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place in our business or our supply chain.

Our Collective Responsibility

We believe that when entities have a shared determination, we can significantly curtail the opportunities for exploitation. For that reason, we seek input on our operations from those who know the dangers posed by modern slavery first hand and share our acquired knowledge up and down our supply chain.

Our Individual Responsibility

We believe that an ethical business must consist of ethically minded individuals who are motivated and determined to see and act, wherever possible, for the benefit of others.

Our Structure

We are a provider of social care services in the domiciliary care sector and offer monitoring services via technology. We deliver social care services throughout Rushcliffe and surrounding areas and monitoring for people who live throughout the UK.

Our Partners

We work exclusively with like-minded organisations who demonstrate a total commitment to the principles of this statement and the highest ethical standards.

Our Policies

Our policies are carefully constructed and regularly reviewed to ensure we remain equipped to recognise slavery and take appropriate action.

Due Diligence & Risk Assessment

Our team specifically review our protocols to identify areas which may present an opportunity for abuse or exploitation. We seek input from experts and put in place mitigation to remove any identified risk. To us, people are always the priority.
We have in place systems to:

• Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
• Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
• Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
• Protect whistle blowers

Identification & Reporting

All suspected instances of Slavery will be reported to the Director immediately. We will notify the relevant authorities and make no apology for applying a strict adherence to the law and the spirit of our commitment.

Training

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, this policy and training forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us. Regular training is provided on the policy and the risk our businesses face from modern slavery in our supply chains as is deemed necessary. Our employees are encouraged to identify and report any potential breaches of our anti-slavery policy and we have in place protection for whistle blowers.

Whistleblowing

Where our people feel that a report of potential slavery has not been addressed appropriately, they are encouraged to make a disclosure under our Whistle-Blowing Policy
