Modern Slavery Policy

 

Aureum Healthcare is committed to eliminating modern slavery, human
trafficking, forced labour, and similar human rights abuses.

Aureum is committed to ensuring that its staff and any workers it supplies
(directly or indirectly) are not subject to behaviour or threats that may amount to
modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and similar human rights abuses.

Aureum provides appropriate training and awareness information for all of its
staff. In particular:

 

• • Our Recruiters, HR personnel, and staff involved in our procurement
    and supply chains undertake training courses that include guidance
    around modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as other wider
    human rights issues.

• • All of our staff receive awareness-raising information around issues
    involving modern slavery and human trafficking, so that they can
    bring any concerns they have to the attention of management.

 

Any staff, workers or other parties are strongly encouraged to report any concerns
or suspicions that they might have to senior staff.

Reports surrounding these issues are taken extremely seriously by senior
leadership team who are committed to ensuring that all investigations shall be
prompt and effective. If our investigations reveal any issues, we are committed to
taking appropriate action, including but not limited to:

 

• • Working with the appropriate organisations to improve standards

• • Removing that organisation from our preferred supplier list

• • Passing details to appropriate law enforcement bodies.

 

We regularly monitor our risks in this area through the use of relevant key
performance indicators, including:

 

• • The percentage of suppliers who sign up to an appropriate code /
    provide their own modern slavery statements

• • The effectiveness of enforcement against suppliers who breach policies

• • The amount of time spent on audits, re-audits, spot checks, and related
    due diligence, and

• • The level of modern slavery training and awareness amongst our staff.

 As part of our efforts in this area, we publish a modern slavery statement on an
annual basis.
This policy was adopted in April 2024 after being agreed by our board of directors.
It is reviewed annually.
