Slavery Act
Modern Slavery Act 2015
The Trust is fully aware of the responsibilities it bears towards patients, employees and the local community and as such, there is a strict set of ethical values that are used as guidance with regard to commercial activities. It is therefore expected that all suppliers to the Trust adhere to the same ethical principles.
We utilise the NHS Terms and Conditions in all of our commercial activity which covers modern slavery and human trafficking. Utilising these contract terms ensures that our suppliers comply with the relevant considerations in their supply chain and subsequent supply chains and also ensure appropriate identification of concerns, breaches etc.
