Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “MSA’) on behalf of stopsexualmisconduct.co.uk 

Modern slavery is a significant global issue, and we remain sensitive to the risk of modern slavery. We are committed to acting responsibly and with integrity in all of our business relationships, and we continue to take measures to implement and enforce effective systems and processes to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking do not take place anywhere within our control and influence.

Our Business

We also arrange and host public and private events, and support others in our goal to stop sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. Our internet business, customer support team and offices are all based within the United Kingdom.

Our Staff

We are committed to creating an open, inclusive and supportive working environment that is based on mutual respect and trust, and where everyone feels valued. Our policies demonstrate our ambition for our staff to enjoy a working environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation. Our policies cover all employees, contractors, temporary workers, and prospective employees. It applies to all aspects of employment from recruitment and selection to leaving the business.

We have robust internal policies and processes in place to uphold and protect the rights and working conditions of our staff. These policies and processes ensure that all employees are safe, of working age, and that we are complying with the provisions of the MSA. These policies and processes are communicated effectively to staff through the recruitment stages and are easily accessible through our company’s website. 

In addition to our employment policies, our company has further policies that cover matters such as recruitment and hours of work. We also maintain and uphold a whistleblowing policy that allows staff to identify and report any potential concerns to the appropriate senior officer of the business without fear, threat of reprisal, or detrimental treatment.

External Services

Our external services range from instructing small organisations and schools to advising experts and King’s Counsel. We operate zero tolerance towards modern slavery and human trafficking within our business. We expect our external service operators to comply with our values. All external operators are required to comply with our external services’ policies that require information to be submitted for initial supplier set-up and due diligence purposes, and which incorporate our terms and conditions. We evaluate the size and risk profile when supplying contracts. Furthermore, wherever possible and commercially viable, we source services from established suppliers within the United Kingdom. We expect these suppliers to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes in place. We also expect the adoption of ‘one-up-one-down’ due diligence.

We may also purchase a wide range of professional and operational external services such as legal, accountancy, information technology, insurance, property, cleaning, catering, and maintenance. These relationships are governed by written contracts which we aim to ensure are fair and balanced, and include responsibilities for compliance. We acknowledge our responsibility to be alert to the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking with our external suppliers, and we continue to monitor and develop our responsibilities in this regard.
