B&A RFC SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

OUR POLICIES ON SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

B&A RFC are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our Club’s operation. Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.

DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES FOR SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk –

Where possible we build long standing relationships with local suppliers and make it clear our expectations of business behaviour;
With regards to national or international supply chains, our point contact is preferably with a UK organisation and we expect these entities to have suitable anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes. We expect each supplier to, at least, adopt due diligence on the next link in the chain.
We encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers.

SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES

We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those in our supply chain and contractors comply with our values.

TRAINING

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our suppliers and our business, we provide training to relevant members of staff. All committee members have been briefed on the subject.

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