Introduction
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various
forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking, all
of which include the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for
personal or commercial gain. Becoming Creation Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to
modern slavery within the business and supply chains and we are committed to acting
ethically and with integrity in all our dealings and relationships. We will implement and
enforce effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place
anywhere in Becoming Creation Limited or within any third parties (agencies) that we are
associated with.
Training
All staff will be made aware of the issues surrounding slavery and human trafficking, whilst
being encouraged and supported to report any concerns to Becoming Creation Limited
management. Becoming Creation Limited will also support any staff that may be subject to
slavery or human trafficking. Becoming Creation Limited will take steps to ensure that
sufficient communication and employee awareness training is undertaken with regards to
Modern Slavery.
Policies
Where modern slavery or human trafficking is identified, Becoming Creation Limited will
share information with the Elmbridge Borough council Safeguarding Team to safeguard the
individual from harm and with the objective of preventing future situations arising, to
promote the elimination of routes and sources of slavery or human trafficking.
All line managers are responsible for ensuring that those reporting directly to them comply
with the provisions of this policy in the day to day performance of their roles. All employees
who suspect any members of the workplace being victim of modern slavery must notify
their line manager.
Risk Assessment
We have conducted a risk assessment and will ensure that we will take further steps to ensure
that we support the eradication of modern slavery, that staff understand how to recognise
modern slavery and the appropriate safeguarding reporting processes are followed should there
be concerns within our supply chains, with customers or suppliers.
Performance Indicators
We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery is not taking
place within our business or supply chain. If no reports are received from employees, the public,
or law enforcement agencies or local safeguarding teams to indicate that modern slavery
practices have been identified, this Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be
regularly reviewed and updated as necessary.
Becoming Care services Managing Director endorses this policy statement and is fully
committed to its implementation.
