Open Learning College is committed to combating modern slavery in all its forms, ensuring ethical practices and human rights are upheld throughout our operations.
The College is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of its activities.
Modern slavery is an international crime affecting millions of people across the globe. It is an unacceptable practice involving people of any age, gender or ethnicity, in developed and developing countries.
Victims in Britain include people trafficked from overseas, or vulnerable people from the UK, who are forced to work illegally or against their will. Evidence suggests that this is more prevalent in some sectors than others, but it can occur anywhere.
Open Learning College is committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chains or in any part of its activities. As part of this commitment, we have adopted an Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy and issue a Modern Slavery Statement annually in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and staff have a duty and a responsibility to support this approach.
We buy a range of goods and services, including stationary, office furniture, electronics (computers), food and catering supplies, books, printing and waste and recycling services and do so in accordance with public procurement law.
While the risks of modern slavery in our direct activities are likely to be low, we recognise that there are risks through the goods and services that we use through our supply chains. Modern Slavery Risks in sourcing labour
The college employs agency staff and sources labour from recruitment agencies. While the risks of modern slavery are likely to be low, we recognise that there are risks through the services provided by recruitment agencies when sourcing labour.
This statement has been approved by the Senior Leadership Team and will be reviewed annually.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our college’s slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year 1st August 2023 – 31st July 2024.
