Our recruitment and people management processes ensure that all employees have the legal right to work in the UK and are protected from exploitation, coercion, or abuse. We do not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in modern slavery or human trafficking.

Assessing Risk and Due Diligence in Our Supply Chains

Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves as having a low risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. However, we remain vigilant and take the following steps to mitigate risks:

  • Conducting due diligence on key suppliers, ensuring they adhere to ethical labour practices.
  • Incorporating modern slavery prevention clauses into our supplier contracts where applicable.
  • Reviewing supplier modern slavery statements where available, particularly those within UK government procurement frameworks.

Embedding Modern Slavery Prevention in Our Operations

Tomson Consulting Ltd will continue to strengthen our approach by:

  • Providing training to all staff on modern slavery awareness and the appropriate steps to take if they suspect exploitation.
  • Ensuring procurement staff follow modern slavery procurement guidance from GOV.UK.
  • Incorporating modern slavery risk assessments into our policy reviews as both an employer and a procurer of goods and services.
  • Maintaining a zero-tolerance approach towards modern slavery within our organisation and supply chains.
