Modern slavery statement

Transformation Nous Ltd is making a voluntary modern slavery and human trafficking statement relating to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We are committed to ethical trading and oppose slavery and human trafficking in all its forms and make this statement to set out the steps we have taken to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our business or in our supply chains.

About us

We are a family owned business providing support in the design, management and implementation of large-scale transformation programmes in the health and social care sector.

Our annual turnover is under £36 million. Although we are not required to make a modern slavery statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act.2015, we are making this voluntary statement to show our commitment to ethical trading principles and to set out the steps we are taking to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and in our supply chains.

Our commitment to ethical trading

We are committed to ethical trading principles and to acquiring goods and services without harm to others.

Due diligence and risk assessment

To help identify and monitor the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain we vet suppliers and sub-contractors to ensure that they are committed to ethical labour practices. We include anti-slavery and human tracking provisions in all our contracts with suppliers.

We only employ agency workers through reputable employment agencies that adhere to our anti-slavery and human trafficking policy.

Effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking

We use the following key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure how effective we have been at ensuring that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:

  • The percentage of suppliers and sub-contractors vetted for ethical labour practices.
  • The number of inspections of direct suppliers and sub-contractors in our supply chains in the past year.
  • The number of reported breaches in the past year.
  • Percentage of staff receiving training on identifying and addressing the risk of slavery
    and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

Training

To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to our staff. We also require our business partners to provide training to their staff and suppliers and providers.

Further steps

Following the implementation of this statement, we commit to undertake an annual review of the effectiveness of the steps we have taken in the previous 12 months to ensure that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains in order to identify any further steps or
measures to be taken to combat slavery and human trafficking.
