The Organisation understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.
We do not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.
No labour provided to the Organisation in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. The Organisation strictly adheres to the standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in United Kingdom, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, and Barbados.
Our supply chains:
We establish relationships with suppliers located all over the world including Tour Operators, Travel Agents, Airlines, stakeholders, and contractors.
To provide a comfortable working environment for our staff, the Organisation makes use of a range of supply chains and external providers for several areas, including but not limited to, the following: cleaning, utilities, repair, garden suppliers.
We build and maintain relationship with suppliers who understand our values, agree with our policies, comply with our expectation, and have a commitment to protect human rights.
Steps:
- The Organisation carries out due diligence processes in relation to ensuring slavery and/or human trafficking does not take place in its organisation or supply chains, including conducting a review of the controls of its suppliers.

- The Organisation has a Compliance Officer to whom all concerns regarding Modern Slavery should be addressed and who will then undertake relevant action regarding the Organisation’s obligations.
