Slavery & Human Trafficking Statement

Slavery & Human Trafficking remains a blight on the Narrowboat Training Industry and society in general. We all have a responsibility to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in the wider supply chain.

We are committed to ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply.

We are committed to being an ethical company, operating with integrity in all our business relationships and taking reasonable steps to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere that we have any sort of a business relationship.

Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk:

    • We have in place systems to encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers.
    • We expect our suppliers to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes.
    • We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking.
    • We expect all those in our supply chain to comply with our values.

To monitor the effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking we maintain a level of communication and personal contact with the next link in the supply chain and their understanding of, and compliance with our expectations. We regularly review supply chain policies, codes of conduct and our working practices to show their commitment.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement.
