Staff involved in recruitment, purchasing, and supplier management receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as inconsistent pay information, restricted worker autonomy, excessive recruitment fees, or unexplained third-party control. This helps ensure that concerns are identified early and escalated appropriately within the business.

We provide clear and accessible reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns in good faith.

No one will face disciplinary action for making a genuine report about suspected exploitation.
