At Your Medical Services, we take our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking seriously. We are committed to ensuring transparency in our operations and supply chains, and to promoting ethical conduct across all areas of our business.
At Your Medical Services, we recognise our obligation to consider and comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the Act) to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our business and the supply chains we work in.
It is important for us to be aware of the forms of modern slavery and how our business activity can attract such risks. Forced labour, slavery, servitude and trafficking of people are key areas of consideration for us. Providing key information to our staff and candidates, so they stay alert to the signs of slavery and trafficking, is important so that we can take necessary action if required to protect our staff and our business activity.
Integrity and a consideration for human rights and ethical practice are at the forefront of our vision and values. This statement sets out our commitment under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Your Medical Services will support victims of modern slavery based on current guidance and updates from the Home Office. Your Medical Services will notify the Home Office when encountering a potential victim of modern slavery.
