  1. Our Processes for Managing Risk 

In order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes with our suppliers: 

  • We review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including the possibility of re-auditing a supplier or conducting spot checks. 

 

After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain.  However, we continue to be alert to the potential for problems.   

 

Additionally, we have taken the following steps to minimise the possibility of any problems: 

  • We reserve the right to conduct spot-checks of the businesses who supply us, in order to investigate any complaints. 

  1. We require the businesses we work with to [abide by our code of supplier conduct / address modern slavery concerns in their policies / publish a modern slavery statement]. 

  • Only senior members of staff who have undergone appropriate training for assessing modern slavery risks in the supply chain are authorised to sign contracts and establish commercial relationships in any area where we have identified the potential for risk. 

  • We ensure that all of our suppliers are members of appropriate industry bodies and working groups. 

  1. We work with Team in order to combat the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. 

Our staff are encouraged to bring any concerns they have to the attention of management. 

  1. Our Performance 

As part of monitoring the performance of Elevation people solutions we track the following general key performance indicators:   

  1. The level of compliance and transparency we have established in your supply chain.  

Based on the potential risks we have identified, we have also established the following key performance indicators, which are regularly assessed by our board of directors. 

  • the percentage of suppliers who sign up to an appropriate code / provide their own modern slavery statements 

  1. the percentage of candidates supplied from audited businesses / our preferred supplier list 

  • the effectiveness of enforcement against suppliers who breach policies 

  1. the amount of time spent on audits, re-audits, spot checks, and related due diligence 

We benchmark our indicators against industry best-practice and discuss our indicators with suppliers, to ensure that we do not put undue pressure on our suppliers that might increase the potential for risk.  

  1. Our Training 

All of our staff receive training and support that is appropriate to their role.  In particular: 

  • All of our staff receive awareness-raising information around issues involving modern slavery and human trafficking, so that they can bring any concerns they have to the attention of management. 

As part of this, our staff are encouraged to discuss any concerns that they have. Training is refreshed annually.
