We will provide training and awareness programs for our employees to ensure they understand the risks of modern slavery and how to identify and report any concerns. 

 

SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT

Bespoke will take the following steps to ensure that our suppliers are also committed to preventing modern slavery:

We may conduct audits of our suppliers to assess their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.

Suppliers found to be in violation of this policy will be required to take corrective actions within a specified timeframe. Failure to do so may result in the termination of our business relationship. 

 

REPORTING

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery within our organisation or supply chain. Reports can be made anonymously, and we will ensure that whistleblowers are protected from retaliation.

 

REVIEW AND MONITORING

Bespoke will regularly review and update this Modern Slavery Policy to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. Senior management will be responsible for monitoring its implementation and making necessary improvements.
