Whistleblowing Policy
All of our staff are encouraged to speak out about any behaviour they feel compromises any ethical, moral or legal standing expected in everyday society. Our policy encourages everyone working for us to report any malpractice or illegal acts, including suspicion of modern slavery and human trafficking, or omissions or matters of similar concern by other employees or former employees, contractors, suppliers, partners or advisers using a prescribed reporting procedure.
