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.
Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and overseas suppliers, mainly through UK government frameworks.
Whitespace carries out employment checks to ensure that employees have the necessary documentation to legally work in the UK (or the country in which they are employed) and no one under the legal minimum age for admission to work is ever employed by Whitespace.
The following policies are available to all staff through the Whitespace intranet:
- Code of conduct
- Ethics policy
- Speak Up policy
- Bullying and harassment policy
Whitespace does not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking. We understand that Modern Slavery risk is not static, we actively monitor our supply chains and undertake selective due diligence, we will immediately implement risk mitigation and remedial measures should the situation Change.
- Diversity and inclusion policy
- Recruitment and selection policy
We will continue to embed the principles through:
-Providing awareness training to staff 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 staff involved in procurement activity are aware of and follow modern slavery procurement guidance on GOV.UK.
-Ensuring that staff involved in buying or procurement and the recruitment and deployment of workers receive training on modern slavery and ethical employment practices
-Ensuring that consideration of the modern slavery risks and prevention are added to Whitespace's policy review process as an employer and procurer of goods and services.
-Making sure Whitespace procurement strategies and contract terms and conditions include references to modern slavery and human trafficking continuing to take action to embed a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery.
