Modern Slavery Policy

Effective Date: 24/9/24

Introduction

TempCare Personnel is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its operations and supply chains. We recognize our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and we are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery does not occur within our organization or our supply chains.

Our Commitment

We are fully committed to:

• Complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensuring transparency in our business practices.
• Ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or our supply chains.
• Continually improving our practices to combat modern slavery and trafficking.

Our Structure and Supply Chains

TempCare Personnel operates within the UK, providing employment services to care providers. Our supply chains include suppliers of goods and services related to our business operations, such as office supplies, IT equipment, and recruitment services.

We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners, and we expect them to act ethically and with integrity in all their business dealings.

Due Diligence Processes

To identify and mitigate the risks of modern slavery in our business and supply chains, we undertake the following due diligence processes:

• Risk Assessments: We assess the potential risks of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains. This includes evaluating geographical, sector-specific, and supplier-related risks.
• Supplier Audits: We carry out supplier audits and assessments to ensure our suppliers adhere to our standards and values. This includes reviewing their policies, procedures, and practices concerning modern slavery.
• Contractual Obligations: We include specific prohibitions against modern slavery in our contracts with suppliers and require them to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
• Training and Awareness: We provide training to our staff to help them identify the signs of modern slavery and understand the risks. This training includes guidance on how to report any concerns.

Reporting and Accountability

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and business partners to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

• Whistleblowing Policy: We have a whistleblowing policy in place that enables staff to report any concerns they may have regarding modern slavery or any other illegal or unethical behavior.
• Supplier Accountability: We expect our suppliers to adhere to our policies and procedures, and we will take action against any supplier who fails to meet our standards.

Monitoring and Review

We regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they are effective in combating modern slavery and trafficking. This policy is reviewed annually, or more frequently if required, to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
