The Company’s approach
To ensure adherence to the Act and to ensure that no slavery or human trafficking exists in our business or, so as far as reasonably possible, in its supply chains, we have undertaken the following steps:
- A review of the company’s own recruitment policies and practices and its contracts of employment
- Analysis & monitoring of our suppliers and their business practices.
Supplier due diligence
We have a procurement process in place that requires suppliers to explain its own compliance with the Act amongst other laws and regulations. This enables us to consider the supplier’s adherence to the Act and whether it is in line with our own interpretation of the Act.
Medivents does not knowingly engage with businesses involved in modern slavery or human trafficking and will report any organisations where there are reasonable grounds to suspect their involvement. All of our suppliers are expected to adhere to all laws and regulations applicable to their business.
Staff awareness
Medivents has implemented a Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy which sets out our stance in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking and its processes and procedures for minimising the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our own work force and supply chains. A reminder of this policy is communicated each year when our statement is published.
Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the Managing Director to ensure adherence to the Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy.
