Anti-Slavery Policy

Upholding Ethical Standards in Care

At NHC Group, we are not only dedicated to delivering exceptional care home services but are also committed to conducting our business with the utmost ethical integrity. Central to this commitment is our stance against modern slavery in all its forms.

Our Anti-Slavery Policy: A Pillar of Our Ethical Practice

We hold a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. This encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We understand these are not only crimes but also gross violations of fundamental human rights.

Implementing Ethical Business Practices

• Comprehensive Coverage: This policy applies across all levels of our operations – from our employees and directors to our partners and suppliers. We ensure that everyone associated with NHC Group adheres to these ethical standards.
• Transparent Supply Chains: In line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we maintain transparency in our business and supply chains. We rigorously vet our contractors, suppliers, and partners to ensure they share our values and uphold the same high standards against modern slavery.
• Responsibility and Accountability: The responsibility for enforcing this policy lies with our management, who are tasked with ensuring its effectiveness and addressing any concerns. This includes regular training and auditing of our practices to safeguard against any form of modern slavery.
• Empowering Voices: We encourage open communication and reporting of any suspicions of modern slavery. Our Whistleblowing Policy ensures that concerns are addressed seriously and discreetly, protecting those who raise them.

Our Commitment to Ethical Excellence

Our Anti-Slavery Policy is more than an internal guideline; it's a reflection of our core values and commitment to the broader community. By upholding these standards, we aim to contribute positively to a global movement against modern slavery, ensuring the welfare and dignity of workers everywhere.

We our clients, partners, and the wider care community can partner with us, confident in the knowledge that we are not just a provider of quality care home services, but also a champion of ethical business practices. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve and the wider community.
