Reports can be raised through designated internal channels, and all reports are logged, investigated and resolved according to our disciplinary and remediation procedures. In all investigations, we ensure the safety and confidentiality of complainants and take immediate action where urgent risk is identified.

Enforcement procedures for the Catford van and man network include formal contractual clauses requiring adherence to our ethical code, the right to conduct unannounced audits and the ability to suspend or terminate relationships where modern slavery risks are substantiated. We also include contractual remedies to recover costs where exploitation has occurred as a result of a supplier’s actions.
