Introduction
Blue Monday is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains. This statement sets out our actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to our business and to implement steps to prevent slavery and human trafficking during the financial year 2023.
Introduction
Blue Monday is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.
As an equal opportunities employer, we're committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.
Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.
We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.
Our Policies on Slavery and Human Trafficking
Our leadership team and Senior Producers are responsible for due diligence in relation to known or suspected instances of modern slavery and human trafficking.
