Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Hand & Millar Consulting LLP regularly completes risk assessments as part of our 440001 ISO Accreditation. Though turnover is below £36m having and maintaining good policies is part of the company culture and it is also a huge part of an organisation’s corporate social responsibility.
Hand & Millar Management Consulting LLP has a Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement which is updated annually. This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement for 2022.
Hand & Millar Management Consulting LLP do not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business and are committed to ensuring that it does not take place in our supply chains.
With this policy, we will ensure that we aim to act transparently, respectfully and with integrity in all of our business relationships. We do not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business and are committed to ensuring that it does not take place in our supply chains. We implement and enforce effective systems and controls to mitigate this risk.
Policy Elements
We have reviewed our purchases to understand the nature of our suppliers. These include freelancers, consultants and companies providing a wide range of goods and services to help us deliver our aims and objectives.
We have in place systems to mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, allowing us to assess, identify, address and monitor risk areas. We assess the risk of slavery or human trafficking occurring in our supply chains and apply enhanced checks where higher-risk areas are identified.
Future Suppliers
We will carry out risk assessments for new suppliers to consider the likelihood of maltreatment of staff or other unsatisfactory factors. This may mean that we decide not to work with them or seek further information, or assurances, before proceeding. For new suppliers where a higher risk is identified:
-
If the supplier is required to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we will review their own published policies on modern slavery.
-
For other suppliers, we will seek declarations that they meet appropriate requirements and may ask them to give information on their working practices.
-
We will apply appropriate vetting procedures, based on the level of risk identified, to ensure we are comfortable that any risks involving slavery can be identified and addressed promptly.
