Modern Slavery Statement
Identify HR is committed to ensuring there is transparency in our business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chain, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Identify HR expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and we are continually evolving and updating our contracting processes to include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude. Identify HR expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
All team members have an obligation to familiarise themselves with our procedures to help in the identification and prevention of modern slavery and to conduct business in a manner such that the opportunity for and incidence of modern slavery is prevented. Adherence to this policy forms part of all team members’ obligations under their Contract of Employment.
The Company’s Whistleblowing Procedure is intended to provide guidance on how concerns can be communicated to the Company. Concerns about suspected modern slavery associated with the Company or our suppliers may be reported by employees in this manner. The Whistleblowing Procedure applies to employees and may be found in the Employee Handbook available on the Company’s intranet site. The nature of the complaint will determine the Company’s next course of action.
Ultimate responsibility for the prevention of modern slavery rests with the company’s senior leadership team. The Directors of the company have overall responsibility for ensuring this policy and its implementation comply with our statutory and ethical obligations. However, Managers at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given adequate guidance on the issue of modern slavery.
Whilst recognising our statutory obligation to set out the steps Identify HR have taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chain, Identify HR acknowledge that we do not control the conduct of individuals and organisations in our supply chain.
