– An updated recruitment process that includes due diligence checks and information for new staff.
– Awareness training for staff to highlight the Golden Tree Gallery‘s new and updated policies and to ensure that staff remain vigilant and report any concerns.
These will include:
– Obtaining where appropriate contractual warranties that slavery is not taking place in the s business or in any element of its and that all necessary policies and procedures have been put in place to prevent such practices;
– Ensuring a right to request compliance related documentation and to carry out an audit if so required at our discretion;
– Ensuring our contracts contain the ability to terminate the arrangement with our suppliers should they breach the Act or not comply to our satisfaction.
