Anti-Slavery Policy
Date: January 2025
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 is a UK act of Parliament designed to tackle slavery and human trafficking through the consolidation of previous legislation and the introduction of new measures. Specifically, it introduces new requirements for organisations in regards to their business and supply chains.
Whilst Andmore Homes & Developments Limited do not meet the criteria as a company legally required to have a policy we have developed the basics of this antislavery policy to demonstrate that we fully uphold the and endorse the antislavery ethos paying particular regard to Modern Slavery Act 2015 and particularly section 54.
At Andmore we recognise that slavery and human trafficking are significant human rights issues and are committed to taking appropriate and proportionate steps to mitigating the risk of these occurring within our business and our supply chain.
As a residential construction business operating within the UK, the key areas of our operation that could be affected by slavery and human trafficking are our directly hired employees, agency workers working on our behalf, subcontractor operatives working on our sites, and the workforce of our supply chain who supply materials to our business. The steps that we take to mitigate risks in relation to each of these areas are as follows:
Employees
- We verify that all employees have the right to work in the UK upon commencement of their employment
- We make all employees aware of their working hours, leave and absence entitlements and other employment benefits via our induction process.
Subcontractors
- We ensure their employees have the right to work in the UK
- We consider sub-contractors’ approaches to employee rights and any breaches of human rights related legislation during our selection process
- We ask all site operatives to provide evidence of their CSCS cards or other qualifications and / or identification
- We want all sub-contractors that purchase materials for use on our sites to consider the risk of modern slavery in their supply chain
Suppliers
- We are a construction company and do procure supply materials for the sites we work on. The materials supplied by them however fall into their own Policy on Modern Day Slavery.
