Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Introduction

Cnect Wales is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. As a not-for-profit organisation supporting the Welsh contact centre industry, we uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and transparency.

Our Commitment

We fully support the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and adopt a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We strive to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships.

Policies and Practices

  • We ensure all employees have the legal right to work in the UK.
  • We maintain a respectful and non-discriminatory working environment.
  • We expect our suppliers and partners to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and demonstrate transparency in their own supply chains.
  • We align our procurement practices with ethical standards and government frameworks where applicable.

Due Diligence and Risk Management

Although our direct procurement activity is limited, we work with trusted partners and suppliers who share our values. We assess risks related to modern slavery and take steps to mitigate them through supplier engagement and ethical assurance.

Training and Awareness

We promote awareness of modern slavery risks through internal communications and encourage staff to report concerns through appropriate channels. Relevant training is provided to support this.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to reviewing and improving our practices and as guidance evolves, we will adapt our approach to ensure compliance and uphold our ethical responsibilities.
