Modern slavery statement
Car Reg Competitions Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
Car Reg Competitions has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in the business or in any part of the supply chains.
Car Reg Competitions is committed to ensuring there is transparency in the business and in their approach to tackling modern slavery throughout their supply chains. Car Reg Competitions expect the same high standard from all of their contractors, suppliers and other business partners. As part of the contracting processes, Car Reg Competitions includes specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. Car Reg Competitions expects that their suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
This policy applies to all persons working for Car Reg Competitions on their behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POLICY
The Managing Director of Car Reg Competitions has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with Car Reg Competitions’s ethical obligations, and that all those under their control comply with it.
The Compliance Manager of Car Reg Competitions has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.
Supervisors at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on the issue of modern slavery.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY
All employees of Car Reg Competitions will ensure that they read, understand and comply with this policy.
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of the business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for Car Reg Competitions or under their control. Any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy should be avoided.
The Compliance Manager must be told, as soon as possible, if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future.
Concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of Car Reg Competitions business or supply chains should be raised with the Compliance Manager at the earliest possible stage however Car Reg Competitions fully understands that not all people will feel comfortable with making the approach to them and therefore Car Reg Competitions would encourage reporting of any concerns or information to be provided to the Modern Slavery Helpline (08000121700) where confidential advice and support is available.
Breaches or suspicion of breaches of this policy must be notified to a supervisor/manager or a report made in accordance with Car Reg Competitions Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible.
Car Reg Competitions aims to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment because of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply chains.
Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern. Any such treatment, will not be tolerated and incidents should be reported to the Managing Director immediately.
COMMUNICATION AND AWARENESS OF THIS POLICY
Training on this policy, and on the risk the business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains, forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for Car Reg Competitions.
Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery will be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter.
BREACHES OF THIS POLICY
Any employee, unless identified as a victim of modern slavery, who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action that may result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct.
Car Reg Competitions will consider terminating our relationship with other individuals and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
REVIEW
During an unprecedented 12 months we have worked to ensure that standards have been maintained, whilst planning for the next year. No incidents of Modern Slavery have been found within the supply chain and we are pressing ahead with regular annual audits of all suppliers/partners by an independent accredited lead auditor. These audits will help to highlight any areas of concern (if applicable) and will be used as an educational tool for both internal and external staff in the fight against modern slavery.
Following its initial adoption, this Modern Slavery Policy will be reviewed by the Company Director on a regular basis (at least annually) and may be amended from time to time.
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes Car Reg Competitions Modern Slavery Statement for the financial year.
