Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015

Coast and Vale Community Action (CaVCA) is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.

As an Equal Opportunities employer, we are committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff and volunteers.  We want all staff and volunteers to feel confident they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.

Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion.

We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.

Our Supply chain

Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.  Our supply chains are limited and we procure goods and services, where possible, locally and almost exclusively from the UK.  We require suppliers to operate within the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
