Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy

Introduction

Alder King 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 are committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our team members. We want all of our people to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are continually evolving to ensure that all prospective team members are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard our people from any abuse or coercion.

We do not knowingly enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and/or forced or compulsory labour.

Organisation

Alder King is a professional practice of Property Consultants. Its Head Office is at Pembroke House, 15 Pembroke Road, Bristol, BS8 3BA where approximately 70% of the people are located. We also practice from six regional offices, namely Cardiff, Exeter, Gloucester, Swindon, Taunton and Truro.

Although our offices are predominantly based in the South West of England, we act for clients on a national basis as well as a regional basis.

Alder King is committed to the safety and wellbeing of its people and respects labour standards. Team members have a safe working environment, competitive salaries and key benefits.

Supply Chain

To fulfil clients’ requests Alder King will at times engage with consultants, contractors and suppliers. We ensure we work direct with third parties building long standing relationships and annually review our register and processes mitigating risks associated with modern slavery and human trafficking.

Building Awareness

Alder King is committed to taking appropriate steps to raise awareness of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We will continue to embed the principles through:

  • Providing awareness training to our people on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and informing them of the appropriate action to take if they suspect a case of slavery or human trafficking
  • Ensuring team members involved in procurement activity are aware and follow Procurement Policy Note 05/19: Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
  • Ensuring that the modern slavery risks and preventions are added to our QA process as an employer and procurer of goods and services
  • Ensuring our people who are involved in buying or procurement and the recruitment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices.
